Background

Early life

Thomas's mother Martha died due to liver and kidney failure before Thomas was nine. His father died a year later due to a heart attack.

College career

Thomas graduated from Nassau Community College in 2016, and joined Indiana for his junior year. Thomas played all 13 games during his first year at Indiana, acting as a blocking tight end and recording only three catches. During his senior year, after a game against Georgia Southern, in which he had a 71-yard touchdown, Thomas was named the Mackey Award Tight End of the Week. As a senior, Thomas had 25 receptions for 376 yards and five touchdowns.

Following his senior season at Indiana, Thomas was invited to the 2018 Senior Bowl.

Personal life

On February 28, 2022, it was announced that Thomas would be facing five misdemeanor charges: reckless driving, operation of a vehicle that is not insured, attempt to flee/elude arrest, failure to heed light or siren, and driving with a revoked license. The charges stemmed from an incident in which Thomas and an unidentified driver of a red ATV were pulled over for not having license plates after which Thomas left the scene before being stopped and arrested.
