Freshman Blue Hose back with upside, but no varsity stat trail yet
Derrick Thomas is a 2026 freshman running back at Presbyterian, listed at 5'10" and 185 pounds, with active roster status and hometown ties to Orangeburg, S.C.[1][3] The public stat pages available right now show no recorded college production yet, so the selling point is projection: he arrives with All-Region high-school recognition and the kind of compact frame that can suit a downhill, contact-absorbing role.[1][3] If you want a young runner to develop, Thomas looks like a patient upside play rather than an instant stat-sheet headline.[1][3]
