JUSTIN THOMAS IS A HEISMAN TROPHY CANDIDATE

We all knew going into the season that Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets quarterback Justin Thomas would be in the running for ACC Player of the Year, going against the likes of the now injured Pitt RB James Conner and Clemson QB Deshaun Watson. What we didn’t necessarily believe was that Justin Thomas has evolved into a full-fledged candidate for the most presitigous award in the land.

On Saturday, Justin Thomas threw for 97 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for rushing for 71 yards himself and scoring a touchdown. He did this without playing the entireity of the game. His leadership and athleticism are an integral part of this thriving team.

The spotlight will be on Justin Thomas next week as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets march into South Bend, Indiana to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Though the game will not feature a premier quarterback battle as Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire was lost for the season with a broken ankle, Justin Thomas will be the most highlighted player in the game.

Also, Justin Thomas has video game moves. Don’t believe me? Just watch.
