Tommy Thomas, a sophomore from Fort Collins, Colorado, was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Thomas recorded seven catches for 225 yards and four touchdowns in Chadron State’s win over Fort Lewis on Saturday.
His four touchdowns tie the Chadron State record for most TD receptions in a game. He joins Duane Smith in 1985, Don Beebe in 1988, Matt Reader in 2015 and Max Gray in 2016.
Thomas’s touchdown catches covered 78, 66, 12 and 29 yards. He also caught three more passes for 40 yards giving him seven receptions for 225 yards, sixth highest all-time for the Eagles.
On the season, Thomas has 34 catches for 590 yards and eight touchdowns. He leads CSC receivers in receptions by 20, yards by 445 and touchdowns by six.
Thomas and the Eagles will be back on the road this weekend when they travel to Alamosa, Colorado for a matchup with the Adams State Grizzlies on Saturday.
