Michael Thomas blossomed into Ohio State's best receiving threat in 2015. Friday, the redshirt junior decided to move on from the scarlet and gray.
Thomas, who spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy with Buckeye quarterback Cardale Jones, declared for the 2016 NFL Draft Tuesday after Ohio State's 44-28 victory against Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. The news was first reported by ESPN's Joe Schad and then later confirmed by Thomas on his Twitter account.
