'''Da'shawn Thomas''' (August 31, 1987, in [[Newport, Arkansas]]) is a [[Canadian football]] [[running back]] from the [[United States|U.S.]] who plays for the [[Western Ontario Mustangs]]. He was signed as a [[street free agent]] by the [[Georgia Generals]] in 2007.<br />
<br />
==Professional career==<br />
===Toronto Argonauts===<br />
Thomas was signed as a free agent by the [[Toronto Argonauts]] of the [[Canadian Football League]] on February 29, 2008, and placed on the [[practice roster]] for the [[2008 Toronto Argonauts season]]. He re-signed with the Argos on January 19, 2009, but was released at the end of training camp.<ref name="argos">{{cite web|url=http://www.argonauts.ca/index.php/roster/show/id/1420|title=Da'shawn Thomas|work=Player Roster|publisher=Toronto Argonauts Football Club|accessdate=June 25, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090322180404/http://www.argonauts.ca/index.php/roster/show/id/1420|archive-date=March 22, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=282845|author=The Canadian Press|title=Running back Ebell among 21 players released by Argonauts|date=June 25, 2009|publisher=TSN.ca|accessdate=June 25, 2009}}</ref><br />
<br />
==College career==<br />
In an unusual move, Thomas, who had never attended university and only a few days of a junior college in Kansas, registered with the [[University of Western Ontario]] and will play for the [[Western Ontario Mustangs]] in the [[2009 CIS football season]]. The [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] does not permit an athlete with any professional sports experience to play on a college team. However, since CIS football typically discounts one year for every year of professional experience, it is the only opportunity for Thomas to prepare for the [[2010 NFL draft]]. Former Mustang [[Vaughn Martin]] was drafted in the [[2009 NFL draft]] and former Mustangs receiver and current Argonaut [[Tyler Scott (Canadian football)|Tyler Scott]] and former Argonauts coach [[Rich Stubler]] recommended Thomas to Mustangs coach [[Greg Marshall (running back)|Greg Marshall]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://lfpress.ca/perl-bin/publish.cgi?x=articles&p=273011&s=university_sports|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711003237/http://lfpress.ca/perl-bin/publish.cgi?x=articles&p=273011&s=university_sports|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 11, 2012|title=Thomas journey ends up in Mustang backfield|last=Dalla Costa |first=Morris|date=August 20, 2009|work=The London Free Press|accessdate=August 23, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/columnists/duane_forde/?id=288242|title=Forde: Taking a CFL scouting tour of North America|last=Forde|first=Duane|date=August 20, 2009|publisher=TSN.ca|accessdate=August 23, 2009}}</ref><br />
