By Micah Brown —

With spring practices underway, football continues their hunt for a playoff spot. With most focus on the offense and their returning production, new names emerge for the defensive side of the ball after being ranked 14th overall in total defense last season.

Senior linebacker Stacy Thomas showed signs of progression throughout his career on the team. After playing a reserve role in the 2014 season, Thomas played in all 13 games his sophomore year and tallied a career-best 11 tackles in the team’s bowl win over Texas A&M after coming in for James Burgess, who was ejected from the game due to a targeting call.
