Darius Thomas Commits to Iowa State
The John Curtis Patriots' star wide receiver Darius Thomas has committed to Iowa State University. The 4A standout, a member of the Class of 2025, cited the Cyclones' Air Raid offense as a major factor in his decision. Thomas believes the scheme will allow him to utilize his speed and agility to their fullest potential. With the departure of key receivers from last season's roster, Thomas sees an opportunity to make an immediate impact on the depth chart. Iowa State's strong academic program and commitment to student-athlete success also played a significant role in his decision. Thomas previously held offers from several Power Five schools, but ultimately chose the Cyclones. He will join a receiving corps that features several talented players, including a few incoming freshmen. Thomas's commitment is a significant gain for Iowa State's recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the top in the Big 12.
