The Kevin Thomson Era is over.
And at Washington, at least, it never truly began.
On Tuesday afternoon, Thomson — a graduate student quarterback from Auburn — announced on social media that he will forgo his eighth and final season of collegiate eligibility to pursue a professional future. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound dual-threat quarterback transferred to UW from Sacramento State last offseason but did not appear in the Huskies’ four games.
On Instagram, Thomson wrote that his extensive college career consisted of “6 seasons, 5 coaching staffs, 3 universities and countless relationships and memories that I will always cherish. I would like to thank UNLV, Sacramento State and the University of Washington for allowing me to represent their university as a student athlete. I would also like to thank every person that I have met and interacted with along the way. You all made this journey a special one and I am beyond thankful for each and every one of you.
“I have decided to forgo what is somehow my 8th year of eligibility in order to pursue my dream of playing professionally. I’m excited for the next chapter and grateful for everything that has happened!”
