Three-star offensive tackle Ja’Braylin Thomas (Weimar, Texas) said he had offers from Texas and LSU, and many felt he would choose between the two once he decided to announce his verbal commitment. Those two schools were the first to offer.
On Wednesday, however, Thomas decided to go with his gut and accept his third offer – a less sexier option in the eyes of many but a place he called a more familiar setting.
Thomas verbally committed to Houston and became the Cougars fifth commit of the 2013 recruiting class. At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Thomas is ranked No. 39 among 2013 offensive tackles nationally. He is listed as the 66th-best player in Texas in his class.
