Thomas on why he chose Notre Dame

“The thing that stood out to me the most was the life after football aspect,” Thomas said. “Knowing I’m going to get a great education and meet great people while also playing at a high level of football means a lot.”

Loghan Thomas’ relationship with coach Al Washington played a role in his decision.

“They plan on using me at the boundary side end,” Thomas said. “I’m the closest with coach Washington. We talk like 3 times a week and most of the time it’s not even about football. It’s really just checking in and seeing how everything is going.”
