"Why I will always treasure Pat Dye"

Edited by Admin at 2/26/2025 - 8:18 a.m.
"Pat Dye retired me from football,” Thomas said. “He said, ‘We’re four-deep at every position. What I saw on the baseball field with you’ – he watched me for like two straight weeks – he said, ‘I’ve never seen anything like it from a big man.’ He said, ‘Baseball could be your career. It could be 15 or 20 years. That’s how long you could play at the next level with your size, strength and athletic ability.’ And he was right. So God bless him. Coach Dye made that decision for me. Kept me on a football scholarship. He kept me there. So nothing changed for me and my family. He knew and loved my parents. Nothing changed. I just played baseball.”
