Why DE Chad Thomas Will Choose “The U”

Like every other program in the nation, the Miami Hurricanes are looking to close strong on National Signing Day next Wednesday. Al Golden and his coaching staff currently have 26 commitments—nine of which are already on campus as early enrollees, preparing for fall.

Miami will host a handful of athletes this weekend as recruiting season will come to a close, while some Hurricanes commits will head elsewhere for one last sales pitch.

5-star defensive end Chad Thomas has been solid to “The U” since last July, but is making the most of his final visits.

The 6’3″, 230-pound Booker T. Washington standout spent last weekend at Florida State and is Alabama-bound this weekend—two programs that have won some recent titles and remain on a roll, yet Miami appears unfazed.

The Hurricanes remain the team to beat for the highly-coveted athlete as Thomas is even more intrigued by brass than hardware. A life-long musician and aspiring producer, the Miami native is thinking far beyond the NFL when his college playing days are through.
