Was wondering if we could get a thread going for him? Word on the street is he is a tOSU commit once the JUCO process is over...

Not a JUCO kid. He's going to prep school, will be a 2012 guy. He's got a visit set up sometime next month.

Article on eleven warriors about him.

Pretty much says we lead and he loves OSU. He gives reasons for why he didn't sign last year and wasn't ready. Supposedly said a lot of conflicting info about a lot of teams last year so we'll see but I'd take this kid over the other targets we have left.

Video looks great and has grown an inch and gained 25 pounds of muscle since last year.

Article that was mentioned above, he's Keyshawn Johnson's nephew. Went to prep school because he's the youngest in his class and technically should be 2012. Here's the highlight film from the article:

Really nice looking WR, just lacks Elite speed. Would love him because he's a playmaker. He talks to Brax a lot.

 

[MD Buckeye]

Want.

This. He and Brax seem to be pretty tight if you follow the Social Media sites. They always make comments about playing together next year in Columbus.

 

[Buckeye86]

Does he have an offer from Ohio State?

Running style reminds me of Santonio. Not nearly the pace but he is obviously a bit taller as well. Looks like he is still growing. There is a lot to like here.

Is Thomas considered a juco (thread title) player? He's going to prep school, so he would still have 4 years of eligibility?

Yes 4 years still. He is attending prep school first.
