Ole Miss had to quickly regroup when now former running back Quinshon Judkins left for Ohio State. But the staff has answered the bell. Lane Kiffin and Co., have now added LSU’s Logan Diggs, Miami’s Henry Parrish and Miami (Ohio) Rashad Amos. And on Sunday, the Rebels have added former Clemson running back Domonique Thomas to one of the top running back rooms in the country.

Thomas joined Clemson as a walk-on in January 2022, but earned a scholarship prior to the 2022 season. He rushed 25 times for 147 yards in 64 offensive snaps in 16 games at Clemson from 2022-23, scoring one touchdown. Between his time at Clemson and NAIA Union College (Ky.), he finished the year with 123 carries for 674 yards and seven touchdowns and 34 catches for 289 yards and a receiving touchdown for his collegiate career.

The Ohatchee Sch (Ala.) prospect committed to Georgia State in December but has since opted to join the Rebels.

Prior to arriving at Clemson, Domonique Thomas put up good numbers at the NAIA level.

He rushed 98 times for 527 yards and six touchdowns and added 33 catches for 285 yards and a receiving touchdown, earning Mid-South Conference Appalachian Division Offensive Freshman of the Year. In high school, the 5-foot-8, 215 pounder was a first-team Alabama Sports Writers Association all-state selection after posting 2,020 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns on 170 carries in 2019.
