The Nebraska Cornhuskers received a Running Back verbal from Van, Texas on Saturday night.
Aphonso Thomas, who stands all of 5'11" and 190, made his commitment to Nebraska known. He states on 247 that he committed 2 weeks ago but wished to push it back due to a violent storm that ripped the city of Van.
Thomas, who is the 97th ranked RB in this class, is also the 174th best player in the State of Texas at this time.
Thomas rushed last year for 934 yards on 108 carries last season, which is about a 8 yard clip per carry.
