Keir Thomas
DE Keir Thomas 6'3" 240lbs of Miami put the capper on Christmas for USC coach Will Muschamp calling him Friday night and officially committing to the Gamecocks. Thomas previously was committed to Florida State but decommitted from the Seminoles November 17th. He also considered Arkansas and Tennessee the strongest over the past couple of weeks. Auburn also was on his short list before Muschamp and Travaris Robinson left for USC.
Thomas was recruited by the previous Gamecock staff and visited last summer for a camp. He kept USC high on his list behind Florida State until he reopened things after decommitting. And he previously expressed the opinion that under Muschamp and Robinson at USC, he would be a good fit for their defense.
“They would be running the same defense they ran at Auburn and I fit perfect in that defense,” Thomas said. “And they do a good job of putting kids in the pros.”
Thomas is known as an exceptional pass rusher. He had 41 sacks over the past two seasons.
“I’m a hard-nose player,” he said. “I have a great get off. The bull rush is my favorite move.”
Thomas will be a mid-year enrollee at USC. His commitment gives the Gamecocks 19 in the 2016 class though it’s possible some commitments could drop off for one reason or another in January.
