Tennessee commit Omari Thomas shutting down recruitment, signing early with Vols

One of Tennessee’s highest rated recruits is shutting his process down — and signing early. Four-star defensive lineman Omari Thomas out of the Memphis area committed to Tennessee last week, and he clearly isn’t having any second thoughts.

“Recruitment 100% shut down,” Thomas tweeted over the weekend.

The 6-5, 300 pound Thomas is the 105th ranked prospect in the 2020 class, according to the 247 Sports Composite rankings. After missing on a couple of in-state prospects, Thomas was a big get for Jeremy Pruitt and staff. He currently sits as the 4th ranked prospect in the state of Tennessee.
