Omari Thomas spoke with reporters after Tennessee’s Tuesday morning practice at Anderson Training Center, and he had plenty to say. The senior defensive lineman recently opted to exercise his Covid eligibility exception and come back to Knoxville for the 2024 season, and he discussed that and several more topics during a candid-as-usual meeting with reporters.
College football rosters remain in a constant state of transition in this era, but Thomas has been a steady presence in the middle of Tennessee’s defensive line the past few seasons, and Josh Heupel and Co. were thrilled to get the big Memphis native back for a final season.
Thomas essentially described unfinished business for himself, his defensive teammates and the entire Tennessee program after an 8-4 regular season, and he said the 21st-ranked Vols have an opportunity in the upcoming Citrus Bowl against 17th-ranked Iowa to get a head start on a better 2024 season.
