Georgia Tech may offer Fitzgerald's Jemea Thomas | College recruiting | ajc.com

Fitzgerald’s Jemea Thomas is certainly one of the state’s best unknown all-around players, but college recruiters know plenty about him. The 5-10, 185-pound Thomas has been offered scholarships by Purdue, Vanderbilt, Troy, Middle Tennessee State and Western Kentucky.

“I think Georgia Tech is about to offer him, too,” said Fitzgerald coach Robby Pruitt. “He is really strong — I mean he benches almost twice his weight and is really, really quick.”

Most colleges project Thomas as a running back even though he primarily works as a free safety for the Class AAA No. 5 Purple Hurricanes.
