Former LSU offensive lineman [autotag]Kardell Thomas[/autotag] found a new home this week, transferring to Colorado.
Thomas originally hit the portal out of LSU following the 2022 season. He spent last year at Florida A&M before entering again and announcing his commitment to Central Missouri. However, Thomas did not enroll and remained available.
That led him back to the Power Four level, where he’ll now play for Deion Sanders and the Buffs.
Thomas was one of the nation’s top offensive line recruits in 2019. According to Rivals, he was the top interior offensive linemen in the class. He earned four stars from 247Sports and ESPN too.
Thomas was a member of LSU’s 2019 national title team, but never found a consistent role at LSU. The most action he saw at LSU was in 2021, where he made starts against UL-Monroe and Texas A&M.
With FAMU in 2023, Thomas notched 10 starts, including a start in the conference title game. He was one of the top interior pass protectors in the conference.

Given how late it is in the summer, its hard to know if Thomas factors into Colorado’s plans, but he’s a solid depth piece for an offensive line that’s had a rough few years.
It’s been a whirlwind career for Thomas, but hopefully, this gives him a chance to finish strong and land on his feet.
