  11/28/22 - RB Tavion ThomasrJr/2023, Utah

  Tavion Thomas has played his last game at the University of Utah. Citing a toe injury suffered in the Utes' 20-17 loss at the University of Oregon, the fifth-year junior running back announced on Twitter Friday afternoon that he will end his college career early, instead opting to focus on the East-West Shrine Bowl on Feb. 2 and the NFL draft in April. The East-West Shrine Bowl, an all-star game for seniors, announced on Wednesday that Thomas had accepted an invitation. Thomas is a draft-eligible fifth-year junior, who Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham had already said earlier this month would not be returning in 2023.

Thomas will not play in Saturday's regular-season finale at Colorado (2 p.m., Pac-12 Networks), nor will he play in a bowl game or the Pac-12 championship game, should the Utes get there. "Unfortunately, I injured my toe in our previous game," Thomas said in the tweet. "Due to this, I am declaring for the NFL Draft and spending my time rehabbing and training for this next step in my football journey. "I look forward to getting back and dominating in the Shrine Game." His aunt died days before the Utes hosted San Diego State on Sept. 17. Thomas took that especially hard given his aunt raised him, his two siblings and, as Thomas later noted, a total of 13 children in his native Dayton, Ohio. As the following week unfolded and Utah began preparing to face Arizona State in Tempe on Sept. 24, Thomas, with Whittingham's support, was able to get back to Dayton for a couple of days to be with his family. What exactly transpired between his aunt's death, the quick trip to Dayton, and the Arizona State game remains unclear. - Salt Lake Tribune
