According to Matt L. Stephens, ex-Rocky Mountain Collegian sports editor, Pete Thomas texted him saying he's "not sure" if he's leaving Colorado State for Vanderbilt.
Also commenting on the situation is CBS 4's Vic Lombardi, saying "He's definitely been in contact with Vandy. That's a fact."
Earlier today I personally broke the news that Thomas would in fact be transferring to Vanderbilt. As many as five sources, including two with connections to the Athletic Department, confirmed with me that the sophomore QB would be changing schools.
It now turns out the sources were passing along merely rumors and that Thomas is not completely sure if he will be leaving Fort Collins, Colorado for Nashville, Tennessee.
I want to take a second and apologize for breaking news that was not completely confirmed.
What is confirmed is that Thomas has been in contact with Vanderbilt and he is considering tansferring.
Despite starting 21 straight games for Colorado State, Thomas may be considering the move due to the fact that four other quarterbacks are on the roster currently.
