Dymonte graduated the University of Michigan with an undergraduate degree in general studies with a minor in sales and entrepreneurship. He is currently training in Carson, California for his Michigan Pro Day. Our conversation shows Dymonte’s journey as he fulfills a lifelong dream of preparing for the NFL Draft.
August Klatt (AK): So you played baseball, football, and wrestled in high school. Did you ever consider playing a different sport in college or was football always your main goal? Dymonte Thomas (DT): I kind of thought about going into baseball, but I wouldn’t have gone to school. I would’ve tried to go straight to the draft, but I decided to come to Michigan to get a great education— that’s the reason why I came to college. I also thought about maybe trying to walk on for the baseball team, but football takes up a lot.
