After breakout year, WSU Cougars DB Skyler Thomas takes on a new role with an open mind

PULLMAN – Skyler Thomas is on the move.

Not to worry, the redshirt junior is still a defensive back on Washington State’s roster, proudly wearing the No. 25.

He isn’t going far, either. Depending on the formation, it’s only about 10 yards from where Thomas lined up last season as a free safety to the nickel position he’s poised to fill for the Cougars in 2019.

Although he’ll be asked to do a few different things within Tracy Claeys’ defense, Thomas can make this guarantee on the heels of his breakout sophomore season:

“I feel like I’m going to be the same player regardless,” he said Tuesday after the Cougars’ 12th spring practice.
