Bryce Thomas, DE, Eyes Transfer Portal Amid Coaching Change at Eagle River Wolves
Eagle River Wolves junior defensive end Bryce Thomas is reportedly considering a transfer to the transfer portal following the departure of head coach Ryan Smith, sources close to the program confirm. Thomas's potential departure would be a significant blow to the Wolves' 4A title aspirations, as he is one of the top defensive linemen in the state and a key component of the team's pass rush. With only a handful of top-tier defensive ends in the class of 2027, Thomas's loss would create a significant position scarcity issue for the Wolves. According to multiple sources, Thomas is being recruited by top programs in Alaska, California, and Oregon, with several Power Five schools also showing interest.
