tiny frame, big upside, but still an unproven Memphis back
Amir Thomas enters 2026 as a Memphis RB with intriguing speed-and-agility potential, but he has little to no verified college production yet and was listed as a freshman at 5'4", 160 pounds in 2025. Memphis’ roster bio notes he was a three-star recruit and produced 843 all-purpose yards with nine touchdowns across his sophomore and junior high school seasons, while NIL profile details suggest a mechanical-engineering major and a community-minded personality. In short: high-energy, developmental, and likely more of a long-term fit than an immediate plug-and-play answer.
