Folsom DE Jalen Thomas Commits to UTSA
Folsom defensive end Jalen Thomas has committed to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) for the Class of 2025. The 5A Bulldogs standout chose the Roadrunners after considering multiple Division I programs. Thomas cited UTSA's aggressive 3-4 defensive scheme as a key factor in his decision, noting that it aligns with his strengths as a pass rusher. He also praised the Roadrunners' depth chart, which he believes will provide him with opportunities to contribute immediately. Additionally, Thomas was drawn to UTSA's strong academic program, which offers a range of degree options in fields such as business and engineering. Thomas previously held offers from several other schools, including Boise State and New Mexico, before decommitting in May to explore other options.
