LCU signs Brady Thomas for soccer and basketball

[March 30, 2014]  MOUNT PULASKI — LCU sent two coaches to Mount Pulaski High School to commit Brady Thomas of Mount Pulaski with a national letter of intent to play soccer and basketball for the Red Lions. Brady was joined by his parents, Jason and Crystal Thomas, at the signing.

Thomas was a two-sport athlete at Mount Pulaski High School and will get to continue to contribute at LCU in the same manner. As a forward on the soccer team and a shooting guard for the basketball team, he brings an attacking mindset to both sports. Both LCU coaches are looking forward to integrating what he brings to the table for their "new look" teams.

Men's basketball head coach Mac Ingmire was excited about Thomas signing with LCU. "I've known Brady for a couple of years now," the coach said, "and he is going to be able to provide us some depth at the shooting guard position that we haven't had recently. He's a great student-athlete who will fit in well with our program."

Men's soccer head coach John Merritt had similar sentiments about Thomas. "We are excited to have Brady as a part of our team," he said. "His attitude and understanding of the game will be a great addition to our team."
