2017 DE/OLB Isaiah Thomas Commits To Oklahoma

Tulsa Memorial standout 2017 DE/OLB Isaiah Thomas became the most recent member of the Sooners’ 2017 class when he made his commitment to the University of Oklahoma official.

While many an OU fan had anticipated Thomas’ commitment, there were several other schools that made a legitimate push in recent months. However, the winning tradition at Oklahoma and a chance to stay in-state, close to family and friends, ultimately won out for OU.

We’ve featured Thomas on TFB many times, but for those who may need a quick refresher check out his film below.

As evidenced in his film, Thomas is a big, dynamic athlete capable of quickly getting up the field and creating havoc in the backfield. Playing with his hand in the dirt, or standing up, you see him move fluidly out in space making plays five, sometimes ten yards down the field.

In addition to his raw athleticism and versatility, at 6’5″ 230+ Thomas already has the size Oklahoma is now looking for in front seven prospects and the frame to easily add good weight once he’s in a D-I strength program.

Needless to say a solid addition to OU’s 2017 class, whose momentum train just keeps on rollin’ right along.

  • JB says:

    I hope this inspires a few more guys to pull the trigger so they don’t lose their seat on the train. Addison Gumbs, it is time to join SoonerSquad17. As Johnny Olson would’ve said, “Addison Gumbs…cone on down!”

  • Dana Rogers says:

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOMER welcome to OU——————

  • Sooner Ray says:

    BOOM!, keep’em coming squad 17!

  • Matt says:

    Glad to get him, was kinda worried the Sooners would miss out on him.

  • KJ1123 says:

    Zeke!! Boom!

    • Matt says:

      KJ! What are we getting in this kid in your eyes? A lot of people seem really excited about him.

      • KJ1123 says:

        Hey Matt. First obviously is size. Moves well at that size. Hes much better standing up than his hand in the dirt. Part of that is because his stance needs some work. Kids are taught to stay low in their stance without actually teaching them the right stance. Hes got good ball awareness and some nice explosiveness. Id love to see him stay in a stand up and just be a monster rushung the passer. Reminds me a little of K. Mann. I dont know if he plays hoops but he looks like he has that type of movement skills. Very nice pickup imo.

        • Rick says:

          That was my opinion exactly, he seemed to move more like a BB player, than a FB player.

        • Matt says:

          Awesome! If nothing else, a good foundational player it sounds like

        • SamSooner says:

          KJ, great assessment. He does look like he’s accustom to working in tight spaces.

  • DCinAZ says:

    That’s a big cat. Looooooooong cat.

  • Ed Cotter says:

    • Doobie74OU says:

      Yeah they do look good in pictures! LOL! “photo typical” Damn auto correct!

  • Doobie74OU says:

    It has to be back in the Switzer days that we had a class this good this early in the process.Signing day is still over 8 months away and this class is unbelievable and with their closeness I only expect it to get better with very few decommitments. BOOMER!

  • Slim Sooner says:

    What a great day for a BBBOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!

  • cush creekmont says:

    Late to the show, but WELCOME Mr. Thomas! You are part of an EPIC class. Help yOUr fellow 2017ers have the BEST class ever!

    • SamSooner says:

      Beetle Juice!

    • Fear The Magic says:

      Recruiting has been good. Tennis team great, Gymnastics teams winning NCs Womens softball kicking butt. Not too much foder for SD. No worries as soon as someone decommits he’ll be back.

    Bama doesn’t waist scholly offers on anyone. They must think he’s big time good…as do our coaches. Let’s just say we got our 11th 4* commit today. By the end of next season he’ll be one of those elite rated guys. ESPN.com recruiting database doesn’t even have a scout report on Isaiah yet. Shows you how players still can really slip through the cracks.

    I’m sure ESPN will have something on him pretty soon too. If he had committed to Bama they would have probably already had a write up.

    • Walter Sobcek says:

      If Bama had him in their sights from the beginning he would have been on espn’s radar.

  • pitbull17 says:

    Kid has an insane first step! Great athlete and fast, especially for a big man. I’m willing to bet he concussed several of those kids with some of those hits he was laying down. Great get for the Sooners.
