2. WR Noah Thomas

Noah Thomas, a true freshman out of Clear Springs, TX, is 6’5 and 195 pounds. It sure looks like he might have put on a few more pounds during camp as well.

Thomas can run routes well and go up and high point the football. I can’t wait to see what he can do on the field with all eyes on Evan Stewart and other threats down field. Look for this big body WR to get some balls thrown his way.

In the Aggies opener, I want to see what kind of role Thomas could play this season. He was often overlooked in the Aggies’ 2022 signing class, but has done enough during fall camp to warrant A&M fans’ attention. If the freshman plays well, gets physical going up for the ball, and avoids drops, we could see him trying to get a starting role at some point this season. Keep your eyes peeled when #9 gets on the field during the SHSU game and let’s see if he lives up to the fall camp hype.
