A physical, pass-breakup-minded Vols DB with proven SEC production
Tino Thomas is best known for his 2026 Tennessee roster presence as a defensive back, but his clearest on-field resume at Tennessee came in the 2013 season, when he played in 11 games, started eight at cornerback after switching from wide receiver, and led the Vols with eight pass breakups while ranking tied for 12th in the SEC with 0.73 passes defended per game. He stands out as a versatile, competitive cover guy with real ball disruption skills and the adaptability coaches love; the big question for any fit is whether his physical, play-making style matches the role you need in the secondary.
