Ball-hawking SDSU safety with proven playmaking pedigree
Jason Thome entered South Dakota State as a junior safety with a track record of creating turnovers, after posting 5 interceptions in 2023 and 4 more in 2024 at Colorado Mesa, plus 35 and 51 tackles across those seasons. His calling card is range and ball skills, backed by academic discipline and a history of earning all-conference and all-academic recognition. For a team, he looks like a high-IQ, competitive defensive back who can fit into a coverage-heavy secondary and add immediate takeaway upside.
