welcome aboard Justin!! You've just boarded the National Championship train.

Congrats Mr. Thomas and welcome to the Tide!!!!! RTR. Big pickup for the 2012 class.

 

[Tide Warrior]

Just heard. RTR

Have spoken with his Dad a number of times. Apparently, Justin ran in the 4.2 range on two separate occasions this past summer.

His Dad was quite the athlete himself. Track, I believe.

 

[RJ YellowHammer]

If runs anywhere close to 4.2, he's a heck of a get.

Welcome aboard.

He can fly and is the perfect build for a CB. I think he has a lot in common with J. Washington from this year's class. I'm hoping the coaching staff at PHS will get a clue and put this kid in the defensive backfield next season, he has no business at QB unless we're running georgia tech's offense.

I just now saw Cecil Hurt's Tweet on it, good pickup. Scout has him down as 4.34 forty. He had just got a commit offer from Florida, I guess he just wanted to shut all the recruiting down.

and then we go get .... more speed.

 

[Bhammer]

Welcome home Justin. Proud to have you. Roll Tide!

Not sure what position he will end up, but with his speed, he'll make an impact.

Oh come on, we know Dubose knows what he is doing.

Good pick up. Kid has speed and moves. First time I saw him play was last year in the state championshp game against Hoover. He made one Hoover player's knees break with his moves.

Welcome! RTR!

Exactly!!!
Awesome avatar by the way

Great commit! You can't coach speed! I see him as possibly wildcat QB, wide receiver, punt returner, and or cornerback. Endless possibilities with that kind of speed!

 

[Squirrely]

Welcome to Bama Justin..............

:BigA: ROLL TIDE :BigA:

 

[BJ4TIDE]

There seems to be a real emphasis on speed, from our coaching staff. I like it. Welcome, Mr. Thomas.

 

[Airborne Tider]

I believe he will probably end up as a receiver/wildcat QB or a DB but one of the reasons he chose Bama is because CNS told him he will get a shot to play QB. Miami and UF both recruited him hard as a QB and LSU recruited him as a Wildcat QB.

Welcome aboard, Justin! :BigA:

ANDREW BONE: Alabama lands commitment | TideSports.com

Thomas, 5-foot-11, 180-pounds, becomes the second player from Prattville to commit to the Tide in the class of 2012. Caleb Gulledge, a defensive end, committed in early October. The class also has members from four-star safety Eddie Williams from Arnold High School in Panama City, Fla., and Dakota Ball, four-star defensive tackle from Pepperell High School in Lindale, Ga.
