'21 GA WR Jayden Thomas (Notre Dame Signee)

[ulukinatme]

Was absolutely fucking pumped that he scored a TD Friday night. Could have transferred several times after his injuries. Deserved that moment, he’s such a great team guy.

He essentially got passed up on the depth chart too by the transfers.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’d honestly convince him to come back and play TE

 

[Dale]

He was most effective in 2022 as the “slot WR” which essentially was detached TE. The boundary experiment has been out of necessity in the room and largely been a fail but the involvement as again basically a TE had the announcers calling him one lol

You think he comes back next year or uses his last year somewhere else

 

[rtrn2glory]

If he was going to leave I'd think he already would've.

True

I mean, he might once he has a degree in hand. He has another year of eligibility.

Do guys have to pick their new school by the 28th? Or wait till spring

 

[BeatSC]

Great blocker and can’t remember him dropping any passes unlike every other receiver on the team.

There is no deadline to choose a new school. Guys have to enter by the 28th or for CFP teams, enter by 5 days after their seasons end. A soft deadline would be by add/drop class date if your next school to make a choice.

But I have no insight if he will leave. I’m sure Ga Tech would love to have him.

 

[Bantry19]

Also, he was the first guy I noticed celebrating with Love after the 98 yard TD.

It wasn’t to his side, that was Collins blocking downfield. But means something when a guy like Thomas, who has had an up and down career, is out there like that celebrating the team’s success.

 

[KMac151993]

I want everyone back from a team that just got a CFP win. RKG.

He is a great blocker, not terribly quick though and his routes could be better. He's a poor man's Greathouse. Greathouse runs crisp routes and gets open more often, and other than a drop early in the season he's always money if it's catchable.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Graduate transfers can enter the portal at any time.

For underclassmen, those on non-CFP teams have until the 28th to enter. For any underclassmen on a CFP team, their window is +5 days whenever their teams season is over.

This dude gets his flowers. Obviously a huge play today on the biggest stage, but he's been all energy all year. Team hype guy while not playing much. And seems to catch everything.

Oh shit wrong Jayden. Well Thomas played hard too lol!

I get you're joking, but don't disparage JT. He has been the consumate team guy all year as a receiver (ocasionally) and enthusiatic down field/inline blocker.

The dudes like JT and Colzie who gave up their spots to transfers without gripe are the grease that keeps the ND machine rolling w/o friction.

Thomas battles every snap he’s out there. Has stepped up at various times in his career when needed. Also I notice he’s the guy breaking it down in the big pregame huddle. Always been a leader. Respect.

This was certainly not a joke on JT. I bummed the wrong Jaden. Too many old fashioneds.

 

[allenm5333]

Pretty sure they ran a jet sweep to Thomas in the Stanford loss year 1 of the MF era

[Dale]

Hat tip to him, was basically a captain even though he got knocked down a peg for transfers

 

[stlnd01]

Too bad for us. Probably the right move for him. He’ll be missed.

 

[GoldenTate(r)Tots]

Not too shocked. Liked having him as part of the team but essentially his impact plays in CFP felt like they were due to him never really being used in regular season (sort of like how I only saw Colzie in on running plays with him blocking and how that could have been used as a set up for 1 or 2 hopeful explosive plays).

 

[NDPhilly]

Really thought he was going to turn into a starter after his 2022 season. Wonder how much his injuries hampered his athleticism.

All time team guy. Rooting for him.

 

[rtrn2glory]

No ill will at all towards this guy.

Hoping he does well

 

[Blazers46]

Always liked him. With his frame I thought he’d make a good TE. But I could be way off as I know nothing about this sort of thing.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Congrats to the young man, I'm looking forward to hearing about his future success

 

[DONTH8]

Any chance he goes to GT?

Echo the same sentiment as everyone else. Love the kid, and appreciate all he's done. He will win in life.

 

[pumpdog20]

Damn

 

[StPaul_Irish]

I think it would have been fun to BEEF him up a little, somewhere in-between a WR and TE, or maybe a small TE/HB thingy.

Maybe? Talk him into it and keep him?
