Ann Arbor — Michigan freshman cornerback Ambry Thomas returns kickoffs and could very well make an appearance on offense.
Thomas said offensive line coach Greg Frey recently approached him about running some jet sweeps.
“I’m a playmaker,” the 6-foot, 179-pound Thomas out of Detroit King said Tuesday night after practice. “I like the ball in my hands. I believe I will help this team no matter where I’m at on the field.”
He and Frey have gotten the blessing of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh to see if this is something that can be added to the offense.
