Rivals250 WR Jayden Thomas Goes In-Depth On Notre Dame, Baseball, More

On July 17, Atlanta Pace Academy class of 2021 wide receiver Jayden Thomas announced a top five of Arkansas, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State.

A common theme between all five schools is their pursuit of him in two sports.

Along with being ranked the nation’s No. 23 wide receiver and No. 131 overall prospect, Thomas can play either outfield or shortstop on the diamond. Baseball is a key factor in his recruitment as well.

“It’s definitely playing a big part,” Thomas said. “I’ve been playing baseball since I was 4. I have a love and passion for it, so why not play both [in college]? Colleges are more attractive if they’ll let me play both.”
