Virginia Tech senior QB Logan Thomas is altering the way he throws the football to the left side of the field.
"When he threw to his left last season, his left foot would follow but the rest of his body still would still face the middle of the field," CBS Sports' Jeremy Fowler writes. "This wasted movement and caused his arm to overcompensate." New Hokie defensive coordinator Scott Loeffler believes Thomas is similar to Tom Brady and Chad Henne in that he can quickly implement coaching. He certainly needs to. Apr 30 - 11:06 AM

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas confirmed on ESPN's College Football Live Tuesday that he will return for his senior year with the Hokies.

ESPN's Joe Schad reported Thomas had a "stressful time" making the decision after a junior season in which he took a step back, struggling mightily with accuracy and too often making ill-advised decisions. The 2013 draft class is not rich on quarterbacks, however, and Thomas' physical skill set would have appealed to NFL teams willing to "develop" him for a season or two, likely as a second- or third-round project. Originally recruited by the Hokies as a tight end, Thomas is listed at a Roethlisbergian 6-foot-6, 260. "I think he's a guy with a lot of talent, particularly arm strength," observed Bill Polian, a former longtime NFL executive and current ESPN analyst. "But his ability to compete for a starting job in the NFL right now is really limited." Polian stated Thomas "would be well served" to return for his senior year. And that's precisely what he'll do.

Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas will announce his decision of whether to enter the draft or stay in school at 3:40PM ET on ESPN's College Football Live.

It's a slow news day in sports unless you're obsessed with cycling, so ESPN has enlisted Thomas to help its CFB Live ratings. Likely no better than a second- or third-round prospect after an incredibly disappointing junior season, Thomas has been weighing his options since the Hokies' December 28 bowl loss.

Logan Thomas - QB - Hokies

Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas will announce at 4PM ET via press release Tuesday whether or not he's headed to the pros.

The Hokies hired former Auburn OC Scot Loeffler for the same position with Virginia Tech on Monday, and it remains to be seen whether that will sway Thomas one way or another. Loeffler was considered a rising star in the coaching ranks before the 2012 season, when his Tigers ranked 115th nationally in total offense and 112th in passing. He does run a pro-style offense, which would be a better fit for Thomas than the spread-option the Hokies tried implementing this past season.

Logan Thomas - QB - Hokies

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas completed 15-of-39 passes for 192 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions Friday against Rutgers.

Putrid. Thomas was just as bad as the box score reads and should have been picked off on a few other occasions. The junior did not look in sync with his receivers, throwing to routes that the receiver didn't run and choosing to attempt wounded ducks when under pressure. We expect to hear a decision on his NFL future soon.

ESPN's Mel Kiper said it would be tough to move Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas out of the first-round due to his size and arm.

In fact, Kiper said he could "never, ever" move a quarterback with Thomas' measurables out of the first day. He added that the Hokie is "more talented than any quarterback that’s going to be in this draft." Thomas is more than rough around the edges and did not show the development many expected this season. He has not declared for the 2013 draft, either.

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas completed 18-of-38 throws for 129 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's win over Virginia.

Thomas did his bets work on the ground, adding 89 yards and one touchdown on 29 carries. There has been zero improvement in his game this season, and we aren't sure if Thomas will progress as planned if he returns next season, either.

In a chat on Thursday, ESPN's Mel Kiper stated that Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas is the "most impressive of the bunch" that included four other prospects at the position.

The four other quarterbacks are: USC's Matt Barkley, West Virginia's Geno Smith, NC State' Mike Glennon, and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson. Thomas, the only junior listed, will be in the first-round discussion according to Kiper along with the other four in the group.

Logan Thomas - QB - Hokies

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas completed 16-of-33 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns Saturday against Boston College.

Thomas added one score on foot. The junior picked up a long chunk of his yardage on a 69 yard pass that was tipped and should have been intercepted. At first, Thomas was sold on returning next season, but he recently admitted he will file paperwork to see his projected round selection. We would expect a third- or fourth-round answer.

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas will "probably" submit paperwork to the NFL Draft advisory committee to receive a projection on what round he may be selected in.

Thomas added that the move would be "just to see" what he would get back. Despite a less than stellar junior season, we think the best move for Thomas is to jump to the NFL because he may not progress as hoped under Frank Beamer. The junior may be opening up to the idea, because he stated he was not thinking about the NFL only a few weeks ago.

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas threw for 298 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions on 19-of-34 completions Thursday against Florida State.

He added ten carries for 13 yards. Thomas opened the game with a nearly perfect downfield throw to Marcus Davis, planting off his back foot and rocketing a pass 54 for a strike. Otherwise, Thomas' placement hurt him, specifically on his interceptions where he put the pass in places where the defender could make a play on it.

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas completed 19-of-37 passes for 199 yards and two interceptions against Miami on Thursday night.

Thomas did most of his damage on the ground, taking 22 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown, including a long scoring run of 73 yards. Yes, the junior was hurt by a handful of crucial drops, but Thomas made some terrible throws on his own. The Hokie is not comfortable as a passer, failing to use the correct amount of velocity to shape passes over defenders.

Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas stated that he is leaning towards returning for his senior season in 2013.

"I've always told everybody that I'm planning on coming back for my last one," Thomas said. "So there's no change in that right now." Thomas did say he feels improved in "reading the defense, stepping up in the pocket and delivering the ball," compared to his sophomore season. We haven't seen real improvement and we aren't sure if that will happen while in college, so despite a poor season the best move may be to declare regardless of draft position.

ESPN's Todd McShay revealead that he and the rest of Scouts Inc. have removed three junior quarterbacks from their board because "they are not ready to become NFL quarterbacks at this point."

The three juniors are: Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas, Tennessee's Tyler Bray, and Clemson's Tajh Boyd. McShay then goes on to list reasoning for each, but makes the clear distinction that this does not mean the trio will never be quality players nor does it mean he has information that the three are staying in school. Georgia's Aaron Murray is the only junior remaining on the board while Alabama's A.J. McCarron might join it in the future. We still question if these three quarterbacks did not improve as expected this season, what makes evaluators believe they will with an extra year in college?

SI's Tony Pauline writes the "consensus in the scouting community" is that Virginia Tech junior QB Logan Thomas and Tennessee junior QB Tyler Bray should not enter the 2013 Draft.

Specifically, Pauline says the two "would be wise to return for their senior seasons." He adds that "neither has developed as scouts expected entering the season." We wonder if returning would do any good for either, in terms of development, and the two may benefit most from getting NFL coaching as soon as possible.
