Carson Thomas Commits to SMU
St. John's Prep running back Carson Thomas has committed to play for the Southern Methodist University Mustangs. Thomas, a Class of 2026 standout, chose SMU due to the program's fit with his athletic abilities. The Mustangs' offense, which features a run-heavy scheme, aligns with Thomas' strengths as a ball carrier. Additionally, SMU's depth chart at running back presents an opportunity for Thomas to contribute immediately. The university's strong academic programs also played a role in Thomas' decision. Thomas had previously committed to another program but decommitted in order to reassess his options. He is expected to enroll at SMU in the fall of 2026 and join the team for the 2027 season. Thomas' commitment to SMU adds to the growing list of talented recruits for the Mustangs' program.
