During the mid-week portion of the activities, Thomalla tossed 18 of his 20 passes in a catchable radius while earning high praise from onlookers. On3 Recruits deemed Thomalla a top ten performer, while others had him slip into the top five. Any doubters of Thomalla are likely to change their tune about his continued performance on Thursday.
Thomalla shined during 7on7 drills, going 14-of-21 with four touchdowns and an interception. For reference, Washington Huskies commit Derek Zammit also tossed four touchdowns, but it came on 24 pass attempts, with two resulting in interceptions. Worth noting, Briggs Cherry (Louisville Cardinals), Jonas Williams (USC Trojans), Travis Burgess (North Carolina Tar Heels), Helaman Casuga (Texas A&M Aggies), and Troy Huhn (Penn State Nittany Lions) all tossed five or more touchdowns.

Thomalla's performance at the Elite 11 competition has become a topic of discussion among Alabama fans following his recent commitment to the SEC powerhouse. The four-star passer in the class of 2026 made headlines this week after decommitting from the Iowa State Cyclones and pivoting to Alabama.
The hard commitment from Thomalla comes with superstar five-star Keelon Russell joining Alabama this fall. He will compete with former blue-chip prospect Ty Simpson. Meanwhile, Thomalla dominated at Millard South High School in Omaha, Nebraska, last season, accumulating 3,664 passing yards, 47 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
