In this story:

The Miami Hurricanes bring in another talented defensive back for the class of 2024. This time, it's a young man that's originally from Canada.

Isaiah Thomas

Size: 6-foot-2, 195 pounds

Position: Safety

High School: Toronto / Clearwater (Fla.) Clearwater Academy International

Recruitment: An unofficial visit to Miami began to steer him towards The U. Thomas eventually announced the Hurricanes on April 19, 2023. Other offers of note include but are not limited to Penn State, Wisconsin, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Florida State, UCF, and Maryland.

Strengths: A big hitter and a player that has a tremendous amount of length, making plays on the football should be considered one of, if not the best, attribute for Thomas. Anyone who meets this young man will likely notice his long arms. They certainly help Thomas get pass breakups and interceptions.

Areas to Improve: Find a specific position to excel at while he fills out his frame and gets ready to play for Miami. Thomas is good at many things, but finding that one niche that gets him onto the gridiron fast and also helps the Canes should be the objective.

From the 2024 Miami Commitments and Evaluations page, here’s what AllHurricanes states about Thomas:

Originally from Toronto before transferring to CAI, Thomas will provide Cristobal and the Canes with a rangy safety who can also help out by being a slot defender and even a blitzer off the edge. Thomas has been built differently, too. He has been blessed with a tremendous 6-7.5 wingspan.

Looking at Thomas through the eyes of someone that's coached him, Here's what Clearwater Academy International head coach Jesse Chinchar says about Thomas:

Isaiah has the ability to line up all over the field. His versatility and athleticism make him a big-time player at the next level. His blitz timing and physicality in the box paired with his football IQ allow him to play anywhere!

Miami's secondary is gaining another talented athlete who can play multiple positions. Thomas has a bright future as a Cane.
