Friendly's Thomas set to choose

It's decision time for Fort Washington Friendly running back/wide receiver Lamaar Thomas.

As reported yesterday by TurtleSportsReport.com, Thomas is set to pick between Illinois, Maryland and Ohio State tomorrow. The announcement is scheduled to be televised on ESPNU during halftime of the Arkansas Pine-Bluff at Alabama A&M football game. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.
