On Tuesday, with another vote in play, Thomas was named to the Davey O'Brien Award's QB Class of 2020, making him one of 35 quarterbacks who is now an official candidate for the award.
Next Monday, 16 semifinalists will be named based on voting from the Davey O'Brien National Selection Committee as well as the first round of the Davey O'Brien Fan Vote, which will run through Sunday.
Fans will vote via three social media platforms —
Instagram,
Twitter and
Facebook—and the top vote getter on each platform will each receive the equivalent of two additional committee member ballots for that voting period. Fan voting will be done by liking the quarterback's photo from the original post on the official Davey O'Brien social media account.
The narrowed-down list of Golden Arm candidates includes four quarterbacks from outside the Power Five conference setup in 2020. The award is presented annually to the top upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with his class, with on-field performance being evaluated along with character, citizenship, scholastic achievement, teamwork and leadership qualities.
