No info other than TA or twitter saying he passed. Here.

That's all I've seen too--tweets.
Wow. This is upsetting.
Fellow Class of '95er.
I think 90s football, and I think Rodney.
eta: Jennifer Northcutt just said, "Tap the brakes. Lots of conflicting info out there."

Confirmed.

Heavenly Father, You were ready to bring our brother, Rodney, home to You. During this horribly painful time, I pray his family leans on You--the only one who can soothe their unspeakable grief.

During Thomas’ career at A&M, the Aggies led the Southwest Conference in rushing four consecutive seasons as Thomas formed a powerful combination with future NFL backs Greg Hill and Leeland McElroy. Thomas' teams also established school records for most points in a season twiceand never lost a game at Kyle Field and never lost to a conference opponent (28-0-1). He is Texas A&M's 4th all-time leading rusher and is 2nd all-time in rushing touchdowns.
Thomas is remembered by many Aggie fans as much for what he did off the field as for what he did on it. He was an active member of service organization Aggie Athletes Involved, and was awarded the Southwest Conference American Airlines Spirit Award. He was honored by his teammates as the 1994 winner of the Aggie Heart Award, the highest honor for a Texas A&M senior football player. The Heart Award is presented to a senior who has completed his eligibility and displays the following intangibles: effort, desire, determination, competitiveness, leadership, and courage. The award is voted upon by the entire team.

I despise that board; so my vote is aways, "No."
But I'd never tell another person what he can/can't do.
I'm blown away by this.
Rodney was one of the very best.
Unbelievable.
