Coming out of high school, Thomas was a 4-star recruit and the No. 22 OLB for the 2020 recruiting class per the 247 Sports Composite. He contributed in 3 seasons for the Bearcats, including a career-high 70 tackles, 6.5 TFL and 2 sacks a season ago.
So far this cycle, Arkansas has landed 13 players via transfer, including 7 on the defensive side of the ball. Thomas joins Antonio Grier out of South Florida as linebackers to join the defense via transfer.
