He's up to 215 pounds. That's kinda pushing the limits, considering he's only 6'1''-6'2''. I'd like to see how he plays in the slot or give him a JuJu Smith in Pittsburgh kind of role.

THAT BOI THICC.

Counting Down The Irish series at II finds Jayden with a team ranking of 34. Seems notable. Here’s the article.

Counting Down The Irish – No. 34 WR-Jayden Thomas

Thomas – from Atlanta – was recruited by all the heavyweights in the southeast/SEC country. The nuances of the game are at the forefront of his learning curve. There’s no question about the physicality to his game. Now it’s about fine-tuning and maximizing his skillset.

Per Eric Hansen Thomas is listed ahead of Colzie for the boundary receiver on his summer depth chart. Thomas had a nice B&G game, but more than half of the passes thrown to Colzie at the B&G game were not his fault.

I like Colzie ahead of Thomas.

If we want to exceed expectations this season, we need both to play well.

Wasn't the knock on Colzie that he didn't play in a very competitive HS league and it would take him some time to adjust to the level of competition he'd see in college?

Yes, Colzie didn't play in a competitive HS league. However Colzie did see PT last year. ND needs more out of both Colzie and Thomas.

Colzie had a couple tough grabs to make in the Spring Game, that he needs to make. Hopefully he realizes that and it pushes him even further this Fall.

I'm a fan of every young man on our team and I want all of them to maximize. Physical potential has me thinking Colzie has the highest upside but Jayden Thomas just keeps making plays. If he keeps putting in the work, I won't be surprised by a minor breakout role to the tune of 400+ yds, 4+TDs

Not to take a real football takeaway form a karaoke video….but that’s what I’m gonna do. This dude is a lean 215 now. He had a ton of baby fat I thought and may be ready based off the practice reports

I could see Thomas and Styles both being used in the slot and outside with Davis exclusively inside and Lenzy/Merriweather exclusively outside

Freeman mentioned him early when talking about guys who have to step up in AD's absence.

A handful of mentions I've read since bowl season have stuck with me. Like in all sports, the guy who gets game planned against the least, usually is the one who produces the most above expectation.

Plus, he's only been a football first player for one year. When other guys were getting better as football players in the spring/summer, he was devoted full time to his first love, baseball... until this past year.

I won't be shocked if he's the biggest surprise in the WR room.

Totally agree. I’m going to go as far as a breakout season!

When Thomas got in during the B&G game he made plays. I think Thomas along with the rest of our younger WR's can surprise opposing DC's.

I thought he looked thick in the spring game. He put in some work since April with Balis!

As if I needed anymore of a boost to my own hype for JT, Chris and Jamie just injected more into my veins. I'm very excited for him next season.
