Indy Eleven acquired defender Mikah Thomas on loan from MLS side Charlotte FC for the remainder of the season on March 12, 2026.
The 21-year-old Thomas played for Crown Legacy FC in MLS NEXT Pro in 2025 with current Boys in Blue forward Dylan Sing. The Ponte Vedra, Florida, native started 14 of 22 matches with two goals, two assists, 15 key passes, and 12 fouls won in 1,333 minutes.
He also started in Crown Legacy’s 2026 season opener vs. Chattanooga FC on March 1, recording a key pass, a foul won, and 32 completed passes in 39 attempts in 87 minutes.
Charlotte FC signed Thomas in February of 2025 following an impressive preseason with the First Team, after trading up in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft to select him with the ninth overall pick. He became the highest MLS draftee on record from the Jacksonville area.
The 6’2 Thomas scored a goal in his U.S. Open Cup debut with Jacksonville Armada’s U-23 squad in 2023 against Miami United FC in a 1-1 draw, followed by a 9-8 win in penalties. That match was played at Hodges Stadium, where Thomas and the Boys in Blue will play on August 15 against USL Championship expansion team Sporting JAX.
Thomas played two years collegiately at UConn. With the Huskies, he made 26 appearances and recorded one goal and three assists. He scored his first college goal against Providence with a tight-angle bicycle kick that made ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10 list.
Mikah’s older sister Jaiden played collegiate soccer at North Carolina State, starting 62 matches for the Wolfpack.
