Keir Thomas vs. Boston College

It’s crazy how Keir Thomas isn’t getting the credit deserved by NFL scouts after his performance for FSU in 2021. One of his best games was against Boston College, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s a game Boston College QB Phil Jurkovec had to have nightmares afterward. It seemed like Keir Thomas was in his face nearly every time he dropped back to pass.

Thomas finished the game with seven tackles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss, and SIX QB hurries.

He could have had at least two more sacks, but he let Jurkovec go one time because the refs were calling some bogus penalties, and Jurkovec is a huge guy that’s hard to bring down.

FSU needed every bit of his production to hold off Boston College in the second half.
