TIFFANY ON COLUCCI
2024 – “Thomas is a downright scrappy, unrelenting competitor. During his first, and only, fall semester with us, this 5th-year transfer proved to his new teammates and staff why he received such high praise from his Colgate crew. Thomas is a Swiss Army knife, capable of fulfilling multiple roles. At the faceoff X, Thomas is more of a counter-first specialist, gladly playing the role of disruptor and then a hunter for the loose ball. There is also value in having Thomas on defense, as he can effectively pop a dodger and ignite offense.”
