3-star inside linebacker Drake Thomas (6’1”/237), one of the NC State’s top priorities in the 2019 recruiting class, will be announcing his college decision on June 1st.
Thomas revealed his Top 8 schools at the end of April, and NC State was on the list along with Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Alabama, UNC-Charlotte, Clemson, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Rivals ranks Thomas as the #18 player in the state of North Carolina, and ESPN ranks him as the #14 inside linebacker overall in the 2019 recruiting class.
Thomas is right out of the Triangle, playing at Heritage in Wake Forest. He is a former teammate of incoming freshman Ricky Person (RB).
The 247Crystal Ball is currently tilted heavily in the Wolfpack’s favor (82% – 11 expert predictions). He has been a frequent visitor over at NC State for quite sometime now.
This past season he had 112 tackles and 3 interceptions. Thomas also shared the backfield with Person, averaging 9.6 yards per carry.
