Florida State football has numerous former players beginning their 2025 NFL seasons.

Sadly, one of those will not be active to participate for a long while.

Former Florida State defensive end Keir Thomas has been placed on the injured reserve by the Los Angeles Rams.

After going undrafted in 2022, Thomas has appeared in 17 NFL regular-season games (started one) and three playoff games.

In his three playoff appearances for the Rams (one in 2024, two in 2025), Thomas recorded three total tackles and one solo tackle on 24 defensive snaps.

Thomas has played alongside other former FSU stars on the defensive side of the ball, such as Jared Verse and Braden Fiske.

How Much Of An Impact Did Keir Thomas Have While At Florida State?

After five seasons with the South Carolina Gamecocks, Keir Thomas made an impact for Florida State in his final collegiate year in 2021.

In Tallahassee, Thomas played in all 12 games, recording 42 total tackles, 23 solo tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and one pass deflection.

His tackles for loss and sack totals in 2021 were both good enough for 10th in the ACC, statistics-wise.
