Blake Thomas Becomes #7 In 2012

He can catch, but especially block

After Ohio State signed two tight ends for the 2011 class, most thought that would be more than good enough for the next 2 years or so. The recruiting staff must think otherwise, as they grabbed a kid that was rumored to be ready to receive an explosion of offers from big name schools after he attended different football camps over the summer.


As of now, Blake Thomas comes in at 6-4/240, and seems to be the perfect fit as a tight end at OSU, thinking block first, catch second. I wouldn't be surprised to see him used much like Fragel was/is once he develops some more. Even for his size, he has deceptive speed that could help out on some toss plays or play action throws. He had offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indiana, Virginia, and others before deciding to don the Scarlet and Gray.


Thomas joins Frank Epitropoulos, Josh Perry, Warren Ball, Brionte Dunn, Jacoby Boren, and Kyle Kalis as members of the 2012 recruiting class. It's a good thing we are still getting recruits, showing that there is no confidence lost in our staff of recruiters. They are still able to go and get who they need to fill roles. While there is still plenty of time for the 2012 class to get in, we have some more spots to fill, and we should have about 12-13 more recruits to pick up in the future.
