YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Former Eastern Michigan University football player Latarrius Thomas (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.-Smyrna Beach-Louisville) has signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts.
The 6-foot-1, 210 pound Thomas spent his last two seasons as a safety at EMU following his transfer from the University of Louisville at the conclusion of the 2008 campaign. He missed a majority of the 2010 season due to an injury, but rebounded in 2011 to earn third team All-Mid-American Conference honors. Including his tenure with the Cardinals, Thomas finished his collegiate career with 140 tackles.
Last season, the New Smyrna Beach, Fla. native started all 12 games for the Eagles in the secondary, recording 79 tackles (42 solo, 37 assists) to go along with 0.5 tackles-for-loss, four pass breakups and one forced fumble. Thomas led the team in unassisted tackles, ranking 29th in the MAC in tackles and third most among All-MAC nominated defensive backs.
Thomas recorded seven tackles in a 14-10 win over Western Michigan and was in on the Eagles' game-changing fourth quarter goal-line stand that stopped the Broncos from scoring in the red zone.
