Former Colorado, Florida State defensive lineman Bishop Thomas has committed to Georgia State, he announced on the Listen2DP Podcast with Daymond Patterson II on Wednesday.

In his lone season at Colorado, Thomas appeared in eight games and tallied six tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. Thomas’ best game of the season came in Colorado’s win over Arizona State when he recorded three tackles.

Thomas was reportedly dismissed from the program after being suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. Before transferring to Colorado, Thomas spent one season at Florida State. He played in two games for the Seminoles, securing one tackle. He ultimately opted to use his redshirt that season.

Bishop Thomas played high school football at Bishop Moore Catholic (FL), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 560 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
