Thomas Gets First Offer

Last year Johnny Thomas caught 46 passes for 680 yards and 10 touchdowns. This year he looks to eclipse those numbers but not at the expense of not being a team player. Players like Thomas are vital to successful teams.

"I really want to focus on being a team player," said Johnny Thomas. Our first week we struggled at times. I had 4 catches for 40 yards. Our QB and I are working on getting on the same page. We'll get there."

The 6'3 180lb WR is hearing from 15-20 schools. Thomas' 4.5 speed gives him the rare blend of size and speed that is coveted by many of the nations top programs.

"My top seven are Southern Miss, Troy, Kansas State, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, Louisville, and LSU. Troy is my only offer. I think Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech are close to offering."

The Scout.com three star WR plans to graduate in May.

"I'm graduating in May. I will have time to take all of my visits. I don't have any set up right now but I've spoken with Kansas State about visiting after my season is over. I don't know much about Kansas State but I look forward to learning more about them."

Has Thomas connected with any of the coaching staffs?

"I like the Kansas State coaches. I also really like the Troy coaches. They have the same offensive system we run. It would be an easy transition. All of the Troy coaches know my coaches so I feel comfortable with them."

Thomas appears to be a possession WR. His frame gives him the ability to make a catch in traffic and his speed allows him to stretch the field. Despite having both size and speed, Thomas believes he is more of a possession WR.

"I think I'm a big play guy. When I say big play, I mean getting the needed first down. I'm not the fastest guy on the field but I'm going to run good routes and make the big catch."
