Coach Hunt on Thomas: "He works harder than just about any wide receiver we've had. He's a great leader, he's not afraid to get on his teammates to make sure they're doing things the right way and he's not afraid to help his teammates. He had a breakout year last season with some highlight-reel catches. When you have a guy with his body type, his hands and who competes as hard as he does, the quarterbacks know they just have to put it near him and he'll get it. He's made countless big plays for us and his leadership has touched everyone in the program. He's a guy who will leave himself and the program better when he leaves here."
