The freshman brings four years of eligibility to a secondary Colorado is rebuilding through the transfer portal.
Overview
- On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported Wednesday that Thomas has committed to Colorado.
- Thomas is Colorado’s first Power Four transfer addition of this offseason.
- He becomes the Buffs’ 17th transfer and third defensive back pickup, joining James Madison cornerback Justin Eaglin and New Mexico State safety Naeten Mitchell.
- The 6-foot-1 freshman appeared in three games for Notre Dame in 2025, recorded a tackle against Syracuse, and retains four seasons of eligibility after preserving a redshirt.
