Sickles receiver Javohn Thomas has committed to USF, becoming the first recruit in the Bulls’ 2022 class.
“I love coach (Jeff) Scott, and it feels like a great place for me,” said Thomas, who picked USF over offers from Florida International and South Dakota.
As a junior, Thomas had 37 receptions for 540 yards and four touchdowns.
The two-sport star also played basketball and was the Gryphons’ leading scorer this past season. Thomas said he talked to USF basketball coach Brian Gregory about joining the team and wants to play both sports in college.
If Thomas does, he will continue what has become an area trend.
Carrollwood Day’s Mike Trigg, one of the nation’s top tight ends, plans on playing football and basketball at Southern California as a freshman this coming season. Trigg’s teammate with the Patriots, Tony Livingston, announced his commitment to Florida on Thursday. The rising senior intends on playing football and basketball with the Gators.
