I’m in the hospital with my wife today, as she is having a procedure, so I don’t know when I will be around to write a story. However, Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman gave me his thoughts on Thomas and his commitment to Ole Miss this morning.
“Really long rangy cornerback prospect with the position versatility and the frame and skill set to also lineup back deep at safety. About 6-foot-1 and broad frame, during live evaluations this spring has been superb playing cornerback on the perimeter, on tape shows a willingness to tackle. From recruiting standpoint, Mississippi State has been a long time Favorite under the previous staff and Ole Miss started to chip away at that after Jeff Lebby arrived at Mississippi State. A massive victory for Ole Miss, beating out the in-state rival who had momentum at one point in this recruitment and closing for one of the best defensive back prospects in the state of Mississippi.” — Spiegelman
