Although the Longhorns have made their interest clear, Thomas is weighing multiple options. He has also received offers from Colorado, Alabama, Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisville, Miami and North Carolina. That list should continue to grow the longer it stays on the market.
The high interest is not a surprise, given the way scouts view Thomas. The Carrollwood Day High star is currently ranked as the ninth-best EDGE in his class by the 247Sports Composite. They also rank Thomas as the 22nd best player in Florida and the 90th best player in the nation.Advertisement
If Thomas were to commit to the Longhorns, the defense would receive a much-needed boost. They haven’t gotten a commitment from a 2028 class prospect, but Texas has been busy connecting with some of the best players on the board. That includes four-star prospects like Neimann Lawrence, Brysen Wright, Jaylen Addai, Braxton Rein, Jamarios Canton and Jalanie George.
As the talented EDGE continues to weigh its options, the Longhorns will be a program to watch. The next step for Steve Sarkisian and his staff will be to bring Thomas to campus for a visit. Then they can show you what your future in Texas could look like.
