"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida State linebacker Matthew Thomas is ineligible for the 2015 season, reports Warchant.com.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former five-star recruit was expected to be sidelined for much of the season as he recovered from shoulder surgery, but counting him out completely will be a blow to Seminoles' linebacker corps, which was already lacking in depth.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas has not played much for Florida State since he entered as the No. 2 outside linebacker of the 2013 recruiting class. He was suspended for the first half of the 2014 season after failing a drug test. He was ejected during Florida State's Nov. 22 game against Boston College for targeting, and then suspended for the following game against Florida.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas has also dealt with shoulder and ankle injuries throughout his abbreviated career.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across two years, Thomas has played in 13 games and amassed 30 tackles, including 4.5 tackles for loss.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If he returns in 2016, Thomas will be a junior with two remaining years of eligibility.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida State opens its season against Texas State on Sept. 5.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Texas A&amp;amp;M leads dark horses who could make College Football Playoff&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Erin Flynn&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
