Colorado among five finalists for Louisiana safety Jhase Thomas

Jhase Thomas will announce his commitment on July 13

The Colorado Buffaloes have been after class of 2025 safety Jhase Thomas for over a year, first offering the Louisiana product in May 2023. That perseverance has paid off, as Sam Spiegelman of Rivals reported Wednesday that Colorado is among five finalists for the NFL legacy.

Colorado is joined in Thomas’ final five by the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Houston Cougars, Old Miss Rebels and LSU Tigers. One of those schools will add to its 2025 class soon, as Thomas will announce his college commitment on July 13.

According to both Rivals and 247Sports, Thomas is a three-star prospect. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 183 pounds, Thomas shows good coverage skills and a nose for the football. He has also played on the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver and has returned punts.

Thomas’ father, Fred, played 12 seasons in the NFL as a cornerback.

Pair of blue-chip LSU recruiting targets to announce commitments this week

LSU could add to its already strong 2025 class with a pair of four-star prospects this week.

LSU’s 2025 recruiting class is already one of the best in the nation, and it could be set to get even better this week.

A pair of LSU targets are scheduled to make their decisions in four-star Indianapolis EDGE [autotag]Damien Shanklin[/autotag] and four-star Lufkin, Texas, defensive lineman [autotag]Zion Williams[/autotag]. The latter will commit on July 4 this Thursday, while the former, who ranks inside the top 100 nationally, will make his decision the following day.

LSU has received multiple predictions to land both players and currently seems to have a significant lead in their recruitment.

Shanklin and Williams aren’t the only Tigers targets deciding in the near future. Four-star receiver [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag], considered an Oklahoma lean, is committing on Monday, while in-state safety [autotag]Jhase Thomas[/autotag] will announce a decision on July 13.

It seems like a two-team race for Thomas between LSU and Ole Miss, though the Tigers look like the clear favorite.
