He has been following and cheering for the Dawgs for years and he now has a chance to play between the hedges one day. 

"I visited Georgia today and Mark Richt offered me a scholarship," said Thomas. " It is an exciting feeling for me and it was a great visit." 

The 6-foot-4, 288 pound offensive tackle out of Atlanta (Ga.) Pace Academy has now been on the UGA campus twice.  He camped there for Dawg Day a year ago in July, then today he got some face-to-face time with the Georgia staff. 

Georgia is definitely on his mind now. 

"I wasn't really sure what type of interest in Georgia had in me, but I know now," said Thomas. " I got an offer, they are close to home, it is an SEC school, and I have always liked Georgia." 

When asked about his ability on the offensive line, Thomas said his length and footwork are strengths.
