Pancho Thomas, a sophomore linebacker, played in 10 games for the wildcats last season as a reserve linebacker behind Avery Williamson. Pancho finished the season with 12 tackles.
Khalid Thomas a freshman running back was recruited by former head coach Joker Phillips. Coach Stoops evaluated him and liked him enough to leave the offer on the table and Khalid signed with Kentucky in February. As you know Coach Stoops didn’t keep very many players Phillips had recruited.
With the dismissal of Pancho and Khalid, 10 players have left the Kentucky football team since Mark Stoops arrived in Lexington.
Best of luck to both of these young men in the future.
