Elijah Thomas Commits to SMU
Cathedral Fighting Irish running back Elijah Thomas has committed to Southern Methodist University. Thomas, a Class of 2025 prospect, made the decision after considering several Division I offers. He chose SMU due to the Mustangs' pro-style offense, which aligns with his skillset as a versatile back. Thomas also cited the opportunity to compete for a starting role immediately, as the Mustangs' depth chart is expected to be competitive this season. Additionally, SMU's academic program and strong football tradition were factors in his decision. Thomas had previously committed to Indiana University but reopened his recruitment in April to explore other options. He is expected to make an immediate impact in the Mustangs' backfield, where he will look to contribute to the team's rushing attack. Thomas' commitment to SMU marks a significant addition to the program's 2025 recruiting class.
