Josh Thomas brings captain-level toughness and proven playmaking to App State’s secondary
Josh Thomas is a 6-foot, 205-pound defensive back who has already shown high-level production and leadership at Appalachian State, including earning second-team All-Sun Belt honors in 2019 and being described by the program as a two-year team captain. His background is unusual in a good way: he arrived with a quarterback résumé built on 9,414 total yards and 97 touchdowns in high school, which often translates to strong field vision and competitiveness on defense. He fits best on a team that values experienced, physical, smart defensive backs who can steady a room and raise the standard.
