2028 Tomball running back Ian Thomas is coming off a breakout sophomore year in 2025 where he rushed 203 times for 1,523 yards with 20 rushing touchdowns while also having 212 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.
His play on the field led to Thomas being ranked as the number 39 player overall in the class of 2028, the number five player in Texas and the number one running back in the country according to 247Sports.
Thomas had received word that he was going to be ranked in the new updated rankings but was not expecting to see himself being the number one running back in the country.
"I had gotten a text about the rankings coming out and I went to go check 247 and saw that I was ranked number one in Texas for running backs but when I clicked all states I realized I was number one in the country in 2028 which was pretty cool," Thomas said. "I haven't always been ranked that high so it was a pretty amazing experience."
The rising junior has seen his recruitment take off following the release of the rankings picking up 13 offers from division one programs from across the country.
"It's been a little crazy and a little fun because I've never really received this kind of attention before," he said. "It's a lot going on right now but a lot of fun as well."
One offer Thomas received this spring was from Texas A&M, a school the star running back is pretty familiar with as his father Rodney Thomas was a star for the Aggies back in the 90's.
"It meant a great deal to me because my Dad was a big part of Texas A&M," Thomas said. "It just really means a lot to me to get the offer from that school specifically."
Thomas will have a busy summer prior to his big junior season as he plans to take trips to Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin among others.
As far as his junior season, the Tomball running back has big goals for himself and for his team this upcoming fall.
"I want to be able to rush for over 2,000 yards this year, that's a big goal for me," he said. "Also just becoming a better leader this year as I'm an upper-classman now."
