Ball-hawking, dependable veteran safety with real transfer value
Dante Thomas brings a sturdy safety presence to Coastal Carolina, pairing veteran experience with reliable run support and enough versatility to handle multiple roles in the back end. In the 2025 season, he recorded 23 tackles and 1.0 tackle for loss, and in the 2025 postseason he added 23 tackles with 2 forced fumbles, which hints at active hands and a knack for showing up around the ball[1][9]. At 6-foot and around 195 pounds, he looks like a physical, assignment-sound fit for a defense that wants a steady, plug-and-play defensive back rather than a gamble.
