Dedan Thomas, Jr, Will Add to the Family Legacy at UNLV

Following in his father's footsteps—at the same school, in the same program.

Dedan Thomas Jr. was a five-star prospect in the 2024 class before reclassifying to 2023 and enrolling at UNLV. His father played for the Runnin' Rebels in the early 1990s, making this a family legacy story. Thomas led Liberty High School to a Nevada state championship and earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors before heading to Las Vegas.
