WR Thomas is 8th OSU underclassman to go pro

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The list of Ohio State players leaving eligibility on the table to head to the NFL continues to grow, and wide receiver Michael Thomas is the latest to add his name.

The redshirt junior, who led the Buckeyes in receptions and touchdown catches last season, is now the eighth underclassmen to forgo another year with the program after confirming to ESPN.com's Joe Schad that he would bypass his senior campaign to capitalize on projections that have him being selected in the first round.

"We have accomplished so much here and now I want to accomplish more at the next level," Thomas told ESPN.
