The team's leading scorer in an 81-51 win over Averett College earlier this season with 22 points, he ranks fourth on the team in points (10.3) and second in rebounds (6.6) per game this season. For his four year career, Thomas ranks 11th all-time in rebounds at the College with 585, and could become the 25th player in F&M history to record 1,000 career points as he now has 824 with nine regular season games remaining.
