Bio

2020-21: Thomas was an elite shot blocker in his second year at Carson-Newman. His 2.05 blocked shots per game ranked fifth in the nation and first in the SAC while his 45 total blocks were second nationally. An elite rim protector, he finished the year third in school history in total blocks and second in blocks per game. Thomas averaged 6.4 points per game to go with 5.8 rebounds per game while knocking down 60.4 percent of his shots. Thomas scored in double digits five times. However, he had a breakout career night at UVA Wise (2/10) when he produced a career-high 20 points on a flawless 10-for-10 shooting. He became the fourth Eagle and the fifth player in SAC history to take at least 10 shots without missing. He joined Shaun Jones (12-for-12 v. Newberry – 12-3-16), Carson Brooks (12-of-12 v. Barton - 11-14-14) and Jeff Marshall (11-for-11 v. Gardner-Webb – 2-28-95) as the only Eagles to perform flawlessly from the field on 10 or more shots. Former Queens post Sean Morgan is the only other player in the league to accomplish such a feat. Thomas also had six boards and played with only one turnover. However, for the first time this season – the nation's second-best shot blocker didn't have a rejection. Thomas turned in his first career double-double in the quarterfinals of the SAC tournament against Wingate (3/1). He had 11 points and 10 boards. That was one of three double-digit rebound games on the year for Thomas. He also had six blocks against the Bulldogs - one off a SAC tournament record and tied for the Carson-Newman single game record for blocked shots. He had three or more blocks in seven games on the year.

2019-20: Thomas appeared in 26 games in his first season at Carson-Newman, averaging 4.3 points and 3.5 rebounds. Thomas amassed 21 blocks, the second most on the team. He made 49.5 percent of his shots while going 10-for-29 from downtown. Thomas produced a career-high 17 points against Coker (12/14), one of a trio of double-digit scoring efforts on the year. He also grabbed at least five rebounds on nine occasions, including a career-best nine against the Cobras. In that game against Coker, he was 7-for-11 from the field and 3-for-6 from deep. He led C-N in blocks in nine games.

PRIOR TO CARSON-NEWMAN: Thomas transfers to Carson-Newman from UNC Charlotte where he came off the bench for the 49ers. He will have three years of eligibility with the Eagles. In his only year with the 49ers, Thomas averaged 2.2 points per game in 10 games. He had a solid all-around game in his first collegiate game with eight points, six rebounds and four block shots against Methodist before a foot injury sidelined him for the latter half of his freshman season.

HIGH SCHOOL: In high school as a senior, Thomas averaged a double-double with 17.9 points and 10 rebounds with 7.7 blocks per game which led the nation, according to MaxPreps. He earned SoMeck 8 Player of the Year honors in 2017 as well as Southwestern 4A all-conference team honors and a spot on Charlotte Observer All-Mecklenburg first team. He recorded six triple-doubles in his career and a career-high of 30 points against Berry as a senior. He tallied 17 double-doubles as a senior. Thomas grew seven inches over the last three years of high school.

PERSONAL: Thomas is the son of Sonya Thomas, he plans to study to be a therapist at Carson-Newman. Thomas chose Carson-Newman over Western Carolina, UNC Pembroke and Catawba.
