Thomas, a rising redshirt senior, led Arkansas with 90 tackles, while also recording 3.5 sacks and two interceptions this past season.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Thomas was initially at Cincinnati before transferring after head coach Luke Fickell accepted the job at Wisconsin, choosing Arkansas as his next destination,

Now, he’s reuniting with Fickell and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel at Wisconsin, where he’ll immediately project as one of the team’s top linebackers in the latter’s preferred 3-3-5 system.
