Big things were expected of Ambry Thomas when he committed to Michigan out of Detroit (MI) King.
One of his rival coaches at the high school level, Belleville (MI) head coach Jermain Crowell — who coached both Jourdan Lewis and Lavert Hill — said that Thomas would be the best of the bunch. And he seems to be on track towards that.
In 2019, it wasn’t known whether or not Thomas would get much playing time, as he spent the entirety of the preseason out with a bout of colitis. However, he didn’t just suit up for the maize and blue in the season opener, he was one of the standouts in the game.
Thus, when at the annual Schemmy Awards, former the Michigan football bust, the award was given to the top defensive skill player, presented to the top player in the defensive backfield, Thomas was the obvious choice.
Thomas is co-leader on the team with 3 interceptions on the year.
