Wofford’s Steady, Tackle-Eating Middle-Stacker
In the 2014 season, Kevin Thomas was the Terriers’ defensive heartbeat at linebacker, leading the team with 80 tackles, adding 8.5 tackles for loss and 3 sacks, and backing it up with a reputation as a high-motor, inside-run stopper who rarely came off the field. He’s the kind of player coaches love: durable, productive, and assignment-sound, with enough thump to set the tone and enough instincts to diagnose plays quickly. For a defense that wants reliability, toughness, and a tone-setting presence in the box, Thomas looks like a fit who makes everyone around him better.
