“I chose Texas A&M because of the feeling of home and being treated as a part of the family ever since Coach Elko and the staff got there,” Thomas said. “It’s been amazing to be around them and talk to them.

“The main thing that makes me believe in Coach Elko is the way that the culture has changed at A&M,” he said. “I’ve been around them and I’ve talked to some players.”

Offensive line coach Adam Cushing led the charge in recruiting Thomas.

What Thomas’s commitment means to Texas A&M

The On3 Industry tabs Thomas as the nation’s No. 50 interior offensive line prospect. On3 is higher on Thomas ranking him No. 38 nationally.
