Early NSD News: Thomas Rawls is Blue

So a question for you?  If your a running back from Flint, Michigan and you break Heisman Trophy winner and former Alabama running back Mark Ingram's (who's from Flint) local rushing records, how many offers and stars would you be expecting?  4 or 5 stars and I would say 20+ offers. 

Not the case for Thomas Rawls, which is too bad for other schools but a big break for the Wolverines.  The reason other programs were not recruiting Thomas very hard was the lack of a qualifying test score on one of the standardized tests.   Thomas had offers from CMU, Cincinnati, and Toledo.  But today he is a Michigan Wolverine with a qualifying score.  (the rumor mill is saying that Thomas has some more work to do in the class room but there is line of site to qualifying)

Thomas is 5'10 and 214 pounds and ranked 3 stars by both Rivals and Scouts.  His head coach is Fred Jackson, Jr, the son of Michigan's running backs coach and brother of Michigan WR Jeremy Jackson.

Senior Stats are 150 carries for 1,585 yards and 19 touchdowns. (I also saw a report of 21 touchdowns)
