TJ Thomas Jr. is an explosive, big-play Elon RB with proven touchdown juice
In the 2024 season, true freshman TJ Thomas Jr. flashed as a home-run threat for Elon, including a 163-yard breakout on just 11 carries against North Carolina Central and 582 rushing yards through his first seven games before earning a Jerry Rice Award watch-list nod. What makes him pop is the burst and efficiency: he can turn limited touches into chunk gains, and his production came immediately against college competition. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a compact, explosive back who can create momentum fast and contribute as a weapon in space.
