Trinity Thomas joined the athletics staff in September 2026 as Director of Athletic Communications after serving the past two years as Sports Information Director at Thomas University.
During her time at Thomas, Thomas served as the primary contact for all 16 varsity sports, including football. She oversaw athletic communications, statistics, website management, media relations, social media strategy and game-day operations, and she also served as the primary statistician for all Thomas University athletic programs. She also redesigned the department's media day experience and built the department's all-time record books and head coaching record books.
In her tenure, Thomas significantly improved and expanded the visibility of the athletic department in local, regional and national markets. Under her leadership, Thomas University Athletics underwent a complete website redesign, and she oversaw strategic partnerships with the Urban Edge Network and HomeTown Ticketing, enhancing the department's digital presence and fan experience while also expanding its communications and marketing.
During her tenure, student-athlete exposure increased significantly, resulting in numerous conference and national award recognitions across multiple sports. Her stories and media initiatives have been featured on both WCTV and WALB, and her game recaps and feature stories have regularly appeared in the Thomasville Times-Enterprise.
In 2025, Thomas served as the host Sports Information Director for the Sun Conference Flag Football Championship Tournament, coordinating media operations and championship communications for one of the conference's premier events.
In 2026, she won the Southern States Athletic Conference Neptune GameTime Sports Information Director of the Year award, becoming the first Sports Information Director in Thomas University history to win the honor and the first woman in conference history to win the award.
Prior to arriving at Thomas University, Thomas gained extensive experience in collegiate athletics communications and statistics. She has served as a statistician for baseball, basketball, football, soccer and volleyball programs at the NAIA and NCAA Division I, II and III levels. From 2020 to 2022, she worked as a Sports Coordinator and Data Entry Specialist with the ASF Foundation, where she assisted with tournament operations and athlete registration for the Alabama State Games. Following the 2022 State Games, she joined WCOV Fox 20 in Montgomery, Alabama, as a production and broadcasting intern for The Score, a local morning sports talk show.
Her contributions to the profession have also been recognized nationally. She served as a national voter for NAIA swimming and football. In March 2024, she was selected as one of just 22 recipients of the College Sports Communicators Attendance Grant, which provides professional development opportunities within the sports communications industry. Throughout her career, she has worked numerous Southern States Athletic Conference championship events, including soccer, volleyball, basketball and softball.
