News on Pitt 2027 Commit Jacob Thomas

Over the weekend, Florida sophomore wide receiver Jacob Thomas decided to close down his recruitment by making a commitment to the Pitt Panthers.

The speedster from Charles Flanagan High School in Hollywood, Florida told PSN that his early decision came down to the relationship that he’s built with offensive coordinator Kade Bell and wide receivers coach JJ Laster. Since receiving the Pitt offer in July, Thomas tells me that he’s been in constant contact with Pitt and that they’ve built a special bond.

“We talk about how I can fit in their system but not only that just life and becoming a young man. They really love me for me and that stands out to me. Feels like a place I can call home.”

“I loved how honest they have been with me since I was offered,” said Thomas. “They say my speed is rare to find. I have maintained close relationship with both Kade Bell and JJ Laster. They came by to see me during spring, and they expressed to me how they would use me in the offense, and how I would be coached and developed and challenged week in and week out.”
