Nice honor for him, but he'll be on the gridiron. For now.

"We're in unchartered waters here," Trevor Thomas said. "We're going to do our research and figure out his options and then he'll make a decision."

Thomas' dad added that he would be "surprised if Thayer didn't play football," for the Wolfpack this season.

Wow. Didn't think Thayer was even going to give this a second thought.

Depending on the offer one option is to turn it down come back next year and get drafted earlier.

You have to think about it. I mean they are offering him real money to play a sport. He definitely needs to consider his football potential but being paid money to play sports should always be considered.

not gonna lie, would be majorly disappointing if he went to play BB now, when he has an opportunity to take over the prime role for our slot position. I know we have some incoming guys who have talent, but I liked Thayer's calmness and thought he could have the proverbial "break-out" year this year
