After the news broke, Thomas\u00a0<\/span>told On3’s Hayes Fawcett<\/span><\/a>\u00a0he feels like he belongs at Florida State.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My relationship grew way stronger with the coaches and FSU is trending up in the right direction, and I feel like I belong down there. It\u2019s a place where I feel comfortable and in the locker room they have a tight brotherhood. And that\u2019s something I wanna be a part of. Coach Norvell is going to push you to be your best every single day, not only on the field but off.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas is coming off a superb Junior season, totaling 44 catches, 753 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He added another five scores as a rusher, too. Here’s the highlight reel.<\/span><\/p>\n
