Asa Thomas is reportedly planning to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on Tuesday, April 7, according to The Field of 68. It would mark the second time he’s entered the portal after starting his career with the Clemson Tigers.

Thomas’ time at Clemson was largely shaped by injuries, which prevented him from gaining much traction. He missed the entire 2023-24 season following shoulder surgery and then struggled to find consistent minutes the next year, appearing in just 12 games. Clemson’s season ended with a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to McNeese, and Thomas opted to move on shortly after.

He transferred to the Furman Paladins for the 2025-26 season and quickly carved out a much bigger role. The 6-foot-7 guard played in 28 games with 21 starts, averaging 11.9 points in over 27 minutes per game. He shot 40.7 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from three-point range, while also contributing 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest. With steady playing time, Thomas showed more of his scoring ability and overall versatility on the wing.

Before arriving at the college level, Thomas was a three-star prospect out of Lake Forest, Illinois, and had several high-major offers before committing to Clemson. He built a reputation as an efficient scorer on the AAU circuit and carried that potential into college, even if injuries slowed his start.

Now coming off a productive season at Furman, Thomas is expected to explore his options once again, looking for a situation where he can continue to build on that momentum and take another step forward.
