Michigan football nets first commit in 2019 class from IMG linebacker

Michigan's football camp week is already paying off, landing another Georgia player.

Charles Thomas, a 2019 four-star linebacker from Fairburn, Ga., announced his commitment to Michigan on Saturday evening. He attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

At 6 feet, 220 pounds, Thomas is ranked as the No. 4 inside linebacker in the class by 247Sports and the No. 196 player overall. Scout.com ranks him as the No. 6 inside linebacker. He had visited Clemson recently before coming to Michigan.

He continues Michigan's incursion into Georgia under Jim Harbaugh. Beginning with Elysee Mbem-Bosse in 2016, then Kurt Taylor and Aubrey Solomon in 2017 and commits Otis Reese, Myles Sims and Christian Turner for the 2018 class, U-M is making the state a priority.
