He said it wasn’t much of a decision, really.
After practice for the VRBO Citrus Bowl in December, Michigan cornerback Ambry Thomas, the junior from Detroit (MI) King, noted that he hadn’t put anything on social media declaring whether he was staying in Ann Arbor or if he would go pro with a year left on the table. But he said that was because he fully intended on coming back.
However, that came with the caveat: what if he showed out against the Alabama wideouts in the bowl game?
Thomas had a solid performance, but not one that would have indicated a sure fire first-round NFL Draft grade. Thus, as expected, it looks as if he’ll return to the Wolverines in 2020, as he indicated on Instagram on Saturday night.
Given his standout season, it’s excellent news for the maize and blue, who already have to replace Lavert Hill, who has exhausted his eligibility after four years with the program.
Opposite Thomas, Vincent Gray is the likely candidate to step in, but DJ Turner, the Green twins and Jalen Perry also could play big roles — and that’s not including incoming freshmen Andre Seldon and Darion Green-Warren.
