Chicago Mount Carmel three-sport star Alek Thomas announced Friday on Twitter that he was committing to the TCU Horned Frogs “to continue my academic, baseball and football career!”
Thomas, a 5-foot-10, 170-pound junior who would be part of the class of 2018, played quarterback in football for Mount Carmel and according to a Chicago Tribune story “is regarded as one of the most gifted baseball players in the Midwest.”
As a sophomore outfielder, Thomas — who hits and throws left-handed — batted .394 with seven doubles, five triples and 10 home runs.
He also plays basketball.
