Background
Hailing from Chester, Pennsylvania, Kevin Thomas made the move to Sagemont Prep in Florida to elevate his game on the national stage.

At Sagemont Prep, he's refined his perimeter shooting and ball-handling skills, making him a versatile offensive weapon who can operate effectively in transition and half-court sets.

He ultimately chose LSU, giving the Tigers a versatile wing who should fit well into their system and has the potential to develop into a key contributor at the SEC level.
