Impact Thomas had popped up on the injury report earlier in the week but will still be able to play in Saturday's matchup. Thomas will look to build on the strong outing he had during the team's Week 4 win over Miami University, where he carried the ball 13 times for 120 yards and a touchdown.
OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Thomas popped up on Thursday's injury report with an undisclosed injury and is now questionable for Saturday's contest. He has rushed 45 times for 393 yards and five touchdowns through four games this season, so it would be a big loss if he was unable to go.

Quiet in win Thomas totaled 13 rushes for 61 yards in Saturday's 30-23 win over UCLA.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Three scores in opener Thomas recorded 10 carries for 147 yards and three touchdowns and gathered in two targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 38-31 win against Idaho State.
Impact It was an ideal start to the season for the junior running back. Thomas got UNLV on the board with a 39-yard touchdown early in the second quarter before breaking off a 70-yard score on the Rebels' subsequent drive. Expectations are high for the 5-foot-9 Thomas after he rushed for 918 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore last year.

Rushes for 72 yards in bowl win Thomas totaled 18 carries for 72 yards and caught 0 of 2 targets for zero yards during Wednesday's 24-13 victory versus California.
Impact Thomas finished this game with his second-highest tally of carries this season, but his average of 4.0 yards per rush was far from impressive. The sophomore tailback finished the 2024 season with 161 carries for 915 yards and seven scores. The touchdown numbers were down compared to his freshman year, but he logged far more carries and nearly doubled his yardage from 2023.
DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Stonewalled vs. Broncos Thomas recorded six rushes for 10 yards and gathered in their only target for six yards during Friday's 21-7 loss against Boise State.
Impact Thomas was about as bottled up as it gets against Boise State. After two straight 135-yard outings, the tailback managed a measly 10 yards on just six carries. The Runnin' Rebels abandoned their plan to ride Thomas in the Mountain West title game, and the result was a brutal performance. Next up, the bowl game against California on Dec. 18.
DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Leads backfield vs. Utah State Thomas had 17 rushes for 139 yards and a touchdown and reeled in one target for nine yards during Friday's 50-34 victory over Utah State.
Impact It was a much-needed breakout game for Thomas, who led the Rebels in touches and yards after not seeing more than eight carries in any of his previous five games this year. Overall, the sophomore is up to 356 all-purpose yards with four touchdowns on the season. Thomas will look to build on Friday's outing next week on the road versus Oregon State.

Scores Saturday Thomas totaled seven carries for 30 yards and a touchdown and hauled in his only target for four yards during Saturday's 59-14 victory over Fresno State. He'd also return a kick 90...
Impact A big fourth quarter salvaged what would've been another pedestrian outing for Thomas -- the sophomore punched in a seven-yard score to extend UNLV's lead to 45-7 before returning a kickoff 90 yards for a second touchdown. While his explosive potential was on display Saturday, Thomas still finds himself splitting carries with Kylin James and Greg Burrell. He's totaled 126 all-purpose yards on 27 touches so far this season.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Two touches in Week 2 Thomas posted two rushes for 30 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 72-14 win over Utah Tech.
Impact Thomas got off to a fast start Saturday, taking his first carry 27 yards for the game's opening touchdown. However, the sophomore saw just one carry the rest of the contest in a blowout UNLV victory. While his touchdown was encouraging, it's been a disappointing start to the year for Thomas managers -- he has just 10 carries for 45 yards through two games in what looks to be a crowded Rebels' backfield.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet day vs. Houston Thomas totaled eight rushes for 15 yards during Saturday's 27-7 win over Houston.
Impact After rushing for 503 yards and 12 touchdowns as a true freshman last year, big things were expected from Thomas coming into the 2024 campaign. However, the 5-foot-9 running back got off to a slow start Saturday, averaging just 1.9 yards on eight carries while splitting work with Michael Allen, Kylin James and Greg Burrell. While it's too early to jump to conclusions, it may be best to temper expectations for Thomas. If UNLV does utilize a backfield committee, as they did in 2023, it would be tough for Thomas to provide consistent fantasy production.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Finds end zone in win Thomas had eight carries for 35 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 34-14 win against Wyoming.
Impact Thomas ultimately led the UNLV backfield with 35 yards while adding a seven-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The freshman running back has just two scores in six games since his 100-yard, four-touchdown performance vs. UTEP in Week 4. Thomas has shown some upside this year, though it's hard to count on any singular running back in a muddled UNLV backfield -- four players got seven or more carries in Friday's win. Overall, Thomas is up to 420 yards with nine touchdowns on 91 rushing attempts this season.
