The senior wideout is out of eligibility, so this was something of a foregone conclusion. In his career, two years of which were spent at Mississippi State, he totaled 104 catches for 1,209 yards and eight total touchdowns.

Rolling with first-team offense Thomas ran with LSU's first-team offense in practice, per Zack Nagy of SI.com.

Impact Thomas repping with LSU's starting offense is a good sign that the wideout might be poised to top the 28 catches, 218 yards and two touchdowns he posted last fall. Still, it's worth noting that LSU's wide receiver room is deep and talented, and could go five or six deep. The 5-foot-10, 192 pound receiver also gets involved in the ground game from time to time, with 21 carries over the past two seasons.
