College career

Thomas committed to Arizona State in June 2009. [10] [46] He also had offers from Boston College, Northwestern, Colorado State, Maryland and Harvard. [1] [10] [12] On December 21, 2009, he changed his commitment to Colorado State. [47] [32] [48] The firing of Arizona State offensive coordinator Rich Olson on December 3, 2009, reportedly affected Thomas's decision. [49] [47] [50] After Olson's firing, it was reported that Thomas was going to visit Colorado State. Thomas said that "after Coach Olson wasn't there anymore, I felt that I had to step back and reevaluate the situation. I called them just in the last two days saying I wanted to take a visit". [49] After committing to Colorado State, Thomas said he "had been thinking of taking a visit to CSU ever since Arizona State's offensive coordinator got fired." [47]

Colorado State University

Thomas played for the Colorado State Rams of Colorado State University from 2010 to 2011. [1] He started attending Colorado State in the spring of 2010 due to graduating a semester early from high school. [51] [1]

He started all twelve games as a freshman in 2010, setting a single-season school record with a .647 completion percentage. [1] He was the only true freshman in the nation to start all of his team's games at quarterback. [1] [52] Thomas completed 253 of 391 passes for 2,662 yards and 11 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. He broke Caleb Hanie's single-season freshman passing record and became the first freshman in school history to lead the team in passing yards.

[1] He had a 6–15 record as a starter at Colorado State. [55]

In January 2012, it was reported that Thomas had been granted his release from Colorado State and that he would be transferring to another school. [56] [55] The firing of head coach Steve Fairchild in December 2011 reportedly played a role in his decision to transfer. [56] [55] Thomas said "I needed a new start, and I am looking for that opportunity. When I committed to CSU, I never thought of Fairchild or the staff being fired, but it's a business." [56]

North Carolina State University

In January 2012, Thomas transferred to play for the NC State Wolfpack of North Carolina State University. [57] He had to sit out the 2012 season due to transfer rules and redshirted.

[59] Thomas played in nine games, starting six, for the Wolfpack in 2013. He completed 149 of 247 passes for 1,667 yards and four touchdowns with nine interceptions. He also scored two rushing touchdowns. [58]

In February 2014, NC State announced that Thomas was going to transfer from the school after graduating with a bachelor's degree in May. [60] [61] Before the announcement, NC State head coach Dave Doeren had publicly said that transfer Jacoby Brissett would be the starter for the next two seasons. [62] [63] Thomas was a communication major at NC State. [64]

University of Louisiana at Monroe

In April 2014, the University of Louisiana at Monroe announced that Thomas was transferring to play for the Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks in 2014.
