Georgia Tech linebacker Charlie Thomas is a tackling machine. In 56 games, Thomas recorded 312 tackles, 37 tackles for a loss, ten sacks, seven forced fumbles, nine pass breakups, and four interceptions. In his fifth year senior year, he recorded an impressive stat line of 112 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, four pass breakups, and two interceptions. His great senior season led to him receiving an invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl. At the Shrine Bowl, I got the chance to interview him for Steelers Depot.
Thomas describes his game as “instinctive” and it is a big reason why he has recorded the stats he has over his career.
