Michigan just picked up their first commit from the class of 2019 in IMG linebacker Charles Thomas, the highest rated ILB on 247’s list of 2019 M targets. According to 247’s Brandon Justice, Thomas committed to Michigan in April; today’s visit reinforced that decision. Today’s unofficial visit is the first for Thomas since he unofficially visited Clemson in March, which might be worth noting since his only other unofficial before that was last October to—you guessed it—Clemson.

Thomas is a 6’0”, 222-pound inside linebacker who, if his sophomore film is any indication, is a hard-hitting, very intuitive ‘backer whose athleticism will play well in Don Brown’s system. He doesn’t have a ranking in the 247 composite yet, but he’s a four-star to 247, which ranks him 196th overall and fourth among ILBs.
