Georgia has added a physical presence to it’s receiver room in the form of Texas A&M wideout Noah Thomas. Sources tell DawgsHQ that the the 6-foot-6 Texas native has committed to Georgia and is expected to be on campus later this week.

Thomas is the fifth portal addition for Georgia with all five coming in the past three days. Zachariah and Zion Branch became the first two transfer commits on January 5. The Bulldogs added two more players earlier today, both in the defensive backfield. Miami safety Jaden Harris committed to the Bulldogs first and he was followed by UAB safety Adrian Maddox, who flipped from Florida. Thomas is the No. 27 player in the On3 Transfer Portal rankings and the No. 10 wideout.

The former four-star product is coming off the best season of his college career. He hauled in 39 passes for 574 yards and eight touchdowns. He was one of just nine players in the SEC to tally three receptions of 50 yards or more in 2024. He had a 73-yard touchdown in a 43-41 quadruple-overtime loss to Auburn in November and tallied two 100-yard games on the year.

Each of Thomas’ three seasons at Texas A&M saw him appear in 11 or more games. He caught just five passes for 51 yards as a freshman, reaching the end zone twice. He built on that in year two, hauling in 29 passes for 359 yards and give more scores.

Georgia has immediate playing time available at the position due to attrition. Last spring the Bulldogs had plans of relying on Rara Thomas and Colbie Young at the all-important X-Receiver position. Thomas was dismissed from the team just prior to the start of preseason camp for a felony arrest related to a domestic assault

Young was arrested a month into the season on a similar charge but his alleged victim later recanted her story. He was arraigned in December and pled not guilty. He has a trial date set for the end of this month.

The guy who filled the role that was supposed to go to Thomas and Young, Dillon Bell, announced that he was coming back for his senior season just prior to the posting of this story. Bell was Georgia’s third-leading receiver in 2024.

The Bulldogs are also losing seniors Dominic Lovett and Arian Smith to the NFL Draft. Those were the team’s top two leading receivers in 2024 but they also combined to drop 16 passes.
