Lands at Virginia Thomas will transfer to Virginia, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact The former USC and San Francisco guard will switch coasts for his final year of college hoops. Last season with the Dons, Thomas had a career year, averaging 19.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 39.4 percent from distance.

Impact Thomas averaged 19.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists for the Dons in 2024-2025 in a true breakout year.

Thomas has one more season of eligibility remaining.

Thomas led the Dons in scoring, averaging an impressive 19.9 points per game, but he could not lead the team into the NIT quarterfinals.
