Chad Thomas to return for senior season

Nov 27, 2016

Miami junior defensive end Chad Thomas will return for his senior season, a source told CanesInSight.com.

Thomas has 5.5 career sacks as a Hurricane, including 4.5 this season -- which has been his best as a Cane. The former five-star out of Booker T. Washington in Miami has 33 total tackles, 19 solo, and 10.5 TFL this year to go along with the 4.5 sacks.

The source added that Miami defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski played a part in Thomas deciding to return for his senior year. The Hurricanes are expected to return a formidable front 7 next season with Thomas, fellow defensive ends Demetrius Jackson, Joseph Jackson, and Trent Harris; defensive tackles Kendrick Norton, R.J. McIntosh, Gerald Willis; and the three freshmen linebackers who started this season for Manny Diaz's group.

Pete and Chad could both be correct. Chad didn't say he is staying. He is saying don't believe everything you here unless it comes from him.

Hate to say it but Chad is a legit bust at this point. LOL at even thinking of going to the NFL now.

Everyone blamed Dorito and scheme for his lack of production his 1st two years. Ok fine, that's a half decent excuse. But after a full year under Kool, his production was still weak and he was non-existent in most games this year. Nowhere near what we thought he would become as a 5* recruit. Joe Jackson completely outplayed him as a TRUE FRESHMAN.

I would nothing more that for Chad to prove me wrong and come back with a vengeance next year but after a full year under Kool already i have my doubts. Prove me wrong Chad

Expected but still reassuring. Makes it easier to sell JUCO CBs with stuff like this. Not only is playing time available but the front 7 will be stacked for you. Crown Kool, I will burn Hecht to the ground if we lose this guy to a lateral job move.

If a school decides to offer him coordinator money, to merely coach D-Line he's gone, and there's nothing Miami can do about that. Remember, schools like Texas and LSU can easily offer 1.5 million for a position coach, if they wanted, it's nothing to them.

Well yeah, hence the lateral comment by me...

Haha if this is bothering him imagine what'll happen when he does step into the league... No babying college kids by the NFL reporters.

Chad ain't ready. He leaves he's another Brandon Washington. ONLY question is does Chad love football? Music could be on his mind

Dude more worried about putting out bangers than getting drafted, wont lose sleep if he gone

Wouldn't surprise me if he left wants to produce music. Only put his music on hold this season to focus then go pro. Didn't really help his draft stock this year getting out played by a freshman

He literally only cares about music.

The guy has not hinted at leaving, at least not publicly.
Why the rant?
Still not sure about the initial post as no one has answered where he was headed.
Love this site.
LOL.

What are you basing this on?

NOBODY has him even sniffing the top 10 DE's in the 2017 Draft. In fact, a lot of the rankings don't even have him in the top 20 at that position. You don't really need to make a formal announcement that you're coming back for another year when this is the case. Some of these kids are still in recruit mode, obviously. Chad not wanting Petey to steal his non-existent thunder over what should be a forgone conclusion?
