Rounding out this page with the 3rd spot is Thomas Wimbush. Thomas is the 17th all-time leading scorer at Fairmont State with 1,719 points, only 3 behind his teammate Jason Jolly. Thomas was a highlight reel waiting to happen. Throwing down big time dunks and blocking shots is what he did. Thomas was first team all-conference in 2017 and was also first team all-region in 2017 as well. Thomas helped lead the falcons to the 2016 national championship game until falling short. That is why he made it this high on the list because team accomplishments are more impressive than individual accomplishments.
