UConn WR #5 Noel Thomas breaks a tackle on his way to scoring his second touchdown of the day at Rentschler Field on Saturday, November 1, 2014.
If UConn Huskies WR Noel Thomas, a Norwalk, CT native, can continue to keep the off the field distractions to a minimum or even nothing at all, there’s no telling how good he can be for the team.
This is something that head coach Bob Diaco talked about during the preseason. And as Thomas has done his best to do just that along with an injury to Geremy Davis, he’s starting to be a feature target for Chandler Whitmer.
In the loss to the East Carolina Pirates, Thomas had five catches for 57 yards and a touchdown. In last Saturday’s win over the Central Florida Knights, Thomas had four catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
In his previous six games, he had just three catches for 40 yards and no touchdowns. His three receiving touchdowns ties him with Davis for the team lead. Thomas has a long way to go catch Davis in catches and yards.
Watch and listen below as Diaco and Whitmer talk about the improvement of Thomas:
