11. 4-star Adonis Thomas

Height/Weight: 6’4”, 229 lbs

High School: Central Gwinnett High, Lawrenceville, Ga.

247 Ranking: No. 11 OLB/No. 171 overall

Bleacher Report Score: 92/100

Committed to: Alabama on Dec. 8, 2014

Adonis Thomas shocked some in the recruiting community when he committed to Florida over Alabama back in August.

However, as the Gators slumped during the season and Will Muschamp's future grew cloudier, many Florida commitments started to look around—including Thomas.

Eventually, Thomas committed to the Tide—who remained aggressive in their pursuit of Thomas after his initial commitment—in December.



Bleacher Report Analysis

Thomas’ best asset is his versatility. What separates him from other linebackers in the 2015 class is his ability in pass coverage. He can run with speedy receivers and he’s also adept at coming off the edge in pass-rush situations. Look for him to play in one of the inside-linebacker spots at Alabama, similar to the role that former Tide All-American C.J. Mosley occupied during his time in Tuscaloosa.
