Omari Thomas is a veteran piece of Tennessee’s defensive front. After a career-high performance in 2023, Thomas confirmed his plans for the future on Thursday evening.
Thomas revealed he will be running it back for one more season with the Vols in 2024. He returns as a key interior piece of the defense and a veteran leader for Josh Heupel’s program.
“Four years ago, I made a decision to come here and be a part of the change. My time at UT has been nothing short of amazing,” Thomas wrote on social media. “I’ve accomplished so much in my years here. I’ve grown as a person, both on and off the field. I’ve enjoyed playing alongside my teammates and building a true brotherhood. However, I think we can take this a little bit further!
“With that being said, I will be returning to the University of Tennessee for my final season! Let’s run it back one. last. time.”
