• In four seasons with the Colts (2022-25), played in 68 games (26 starts) and totaled 102 tackles (76 solo), 1.0 tackle for loss, 10 passes defensed and six interceptions. Also registered 12 special teams tackles and one carry for three yards. Most playing time came in 2023, when he played in all 17 games with 15 starts, collecting 34 tackles (30 solo), four passes defensed and two interceptions.

COLLEGE: Appeared in 33 games at linebacker and defensive back in four seasons at Yale (2017-21) and compiled 134 tackles (95 solo), 8.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, 21 passes defensed and six interceptions. Was named first-team All-Ivy League and All-New England team following the 2021 season, and was the first Yale player selected in the NFL Draft since 2018.

PERSONAL: Attended Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh. Named first-team all-conference as a defensive back. Selected to Western Pennsylvania Football Gold All-Academic Team in 2017. Was a member of the 2016 district champion and state runner-up team as well as the 2015 state championship team. Also competed in basketball and track and was captain of the track team. Thomas II was one of the smaller players on the football team, let alone the school as a freshman in high school. He was 5-3 and 130 pounds as a freshman before gaining nearly 35 pounds and eight inches of height during his high school career. Thomas II started gaining attention of colleges as a senior, and decided on Yale because they had a good football program, but he also wanted a school that had a great academic program. Even though he was playing Division I football, he wasn't done growing. Thomas II sprouted up to 6-2, 200 pounds, as a senior at Yale and played multiple positions, including defensive back and linebacker. He compares his growth spurt to NBA player Anthony Davis, who gained nearly 10 inches of height during his high school career before starring at Kentucky.
