Thomas, a rising junior at Wilson High in Florence, is considered a nationally elite recruit for the 2018 class.
Florida State was the first to offer the 6-foot-3, 240-pound defensive end. Thomas attended a camp at USC last month and has been to Columbia several times since Will Muschamp became head coach. He remains in constant communication with Muschamp and defensive line coach Lance Thompson.
“I’ve watched them practice and stuff,” Thomas told 247Sports about the Gamecocks this weekend at The Opening in Oregon. “I’m just really waiting to see what they can do during the season and what they can accomplish. Their message to me is that I can be the face of their program.”
