Hey fellas,
Obviously as you can tell by my screen name (and this post) I am a big Geogia Tech fan...been following GT for awhile now and have covered Tech for Rivals.com and the 247sports network.
I've had the chance to watch Jemea Thomas the last few years and it has been a pleasure. Jemea is simply everything you want in a football player...he is tough, physical and gives it his all on every play.
Jemea originally came to Tech as a RB which speaks as to how great of a athlete he is. He has played every position in our secondary and played them well...Whatever what was our biggest need that game is where he would play...for example Eric Ebron (1st round selection by Lions) was dominating GT in the first half, so start the second half we switch Thomas to playing him 1 on 1 and Thomas shut Ebron down.
Another one of my favorite performances this year was his game against UVA...15 tackles with 11 solo.
In his first career start back in 2011 vs top 5 Clemson...he went against DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins...he had 5 tackles, broke up 2 passes, 1 TFL, 1 FF and 2 INT's (both in the fourth quarter).
He's also a great special teamer and he will make a impact right away I'm sure...to add on to that his teammates love him and he's a good guy.
Sorry for the ramblings but you guys are going to be very happy with the pick of Jemea Thomas.
