Curlee Thomas IV brings Cal a big-bodied, disruptive front-seven piece with real developmental upside
In the 2025 season, Curlee Thomas IV played in nine games for Cal and made two starts, logging two tackles while flashing as a 6-foot-4, 260-pound outside linebacker with a strong frame and solid athletic traits; Cal lists him among its outside linebackers, and EA’s player ratings profile gives him a 73 overall with standout marks for acceleration, stamina, toughness, and finesse moves. [1][2][6][7] His appeal is less about volume production and more about fit: he looks like a physical edge presence who can set the edge, absorb contact, and develop into a useful rotational defender if your team values size, effort, and upside over immediate box-score production. [2][7][11]
