Grimsley Whirlies Linebacker Caleb Thomas Commits to Kansas State
Caleb Thomas, a 4A linebacker from the Grimsley Whirlies, has committed to Kansas State University. The Class of 2026 standout chose the Wildcats due to their 3-3-5 defensive scheme, which aligns with his athletic abilities. Thomas projects as a key contributor at outside linebacker, where he can utilize his speed and agility to make plays on the edge. Kansas State's depth chart also presents an opportunity for Thomas to see significant playing time early in his career. Additionally, the university's strong academic program and research opportunities were attractive to Thomas, who plans to pursue a degree in engineering. Thomas previously held a commitment to another program but re-evaluated his options and decided that Kansas State was the best fit for his athletic and academic goals.
