Last week, former Temple CB Derrek Thomas announced that he is transferring to Baylor. I’ve read several articles which have just relayed the news, but haven’t seen any analysis on his likely position or impact.
Thomas is listed as 6’3 193lbs, and that number doesn’t look exaggerated. He’s a tall, rangy player. His player page at Temple shows an interesting story—playing as a true freshman at WR, redshirting next year and switching to CB, began starting at CB in the 10th game of his RS-Soph year, then playing in-between injuries as a RS-Junior.
