Sarah Thomas is from Jackson, Mississippi. A beautiful wife and mother of three. She started officiating for High School games because she loves officiating. She learned from her two brothers. Focused mentally and physically fit, she steadily climbed the officiating ladder to Conference USA. She made history and became the first woman official to work for the NFL in 2015. Clap your hands!
Interviewed by Gina Minervini at the Reno Football Officials Camp several years ago, Sarah explains how she got started, why she chose the position "Line Judge" and her goal to be the first woman to officiate for the NFL. Her goal came true in 2015!!
Sarah broke the glass ceiling for women and the NFL.
