College career

Football

In 2013, Thomas took a redshirt in his first year with the Oklahoma Sooners football team.

In 2014, as a redshirt freshman, Thomas played in four games before making his first collegiate start against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Oklahoma starting quarterback Trevor Knight was sidelined with a neck injury that he sustained the previous week.[5] On November 15, Thomas led Oklahoma to a 42–30 victory on the road, defeating opposing quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Thomas went 10-for-20 passing for 133 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. Thomas also ran for 103 yards on eight carries and one touchdown. The following week, Thomas made his second straight start. After a 90-minute weather delay before the game, Oklahoma running back Samaje Perine rushed for 427 yards on 34 rushes along with six touchdowns in a 44–7 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks, breaking the NCAA FBS single-game rushing record. Thomas completed just three of 13 passes for 39 yards and added 21 yards on the ground in the poor conditions. On December 6, Thomas went 10-for-17 passing for 120 yards and one touchdown in a 35–38 overtime loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. For the season, he completed 30-of-66 passes for 342 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

In 2015, Thomas competed with Baker Mayfield and Trevor Knight for the starting job.[6] Mayfield won the job, with Thomas appearing in three games as a backup. In January 2016, he left the football team to focus on his baseball career.[7][8]

On November 19, 2021, the Athletics' added Thomas to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[18]

In 4 games, he went 4-for-15 (.267) with a home run, two doubles, one walk, and seven strikeouts. On September 1, 2022, Thomas was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[20] He made his Major League Baseball debut the same day against the Washington Nationals, where he recorded his first career hit. Thomas finished the season 8-for-30 (.267) in 10 games played.
