ATHENS, Ga.----SEC-TV, Fox Sports Net's live, weekly Southeastern Conference studio program, will profile Georgia junior Jeremy Thomas on Thurs., Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m. EDT. The show re-airs on Fri., Oct. 17 at 12:30 a.m. EDT.
Thomas is the third starting fullback in as many years to go from walk-on to scholarship starter for the Bulldogs. Thomas, a 5-11, 238-pounder from Loganville, Ga., has followed the same path as Verron Haynes and J.T. Wall. All three started out at smaller schools then enrolled at UGA, joining the Bulldogs first as a walk-on for the scout team. Haynes and Wall now are playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers after getting drafted.
Thomas had his biggest game of the season in the win over Alabama including his first 2 receptions, the first one covering 41 yards. Against Tennessee, he provided solid blocking and accounted for 28 yards of offense.
SEC-TV originates from Fox Sports Net's Atlanta studio, where host Dave Neal is joined in studio by reporter Jenn Hildreth.
