Amari Thomas Set to Announce Commitment - Will it Be South Carolina?

Amari Thomas, a 2026 running back, is set to announce his commitment. Will it be South Carolina/

The South Carolina Gamecocks have continued to work to try to add more names to the 2026 recruiting class, and they have the opportunity to do that on Friday. Amari Thomas, a running back in the class, will be announcing his commitment. His finalists consist of Colorado, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina.

Thomas is rated as a four-star running back, 341st-best player in the class, the 22nd-best running back and the 48th-best player in the state of Florida, according to composite rankings.

The Florida native took both an unofficial visit and an official visit to South Carolina this year. He also took an official visit to Florida State, which he had previously committed to before backing off his verbal pledge in mid-July.

The Gamecocks have fought their way back into the mix for Thomas despite him being a Florida State commit since January of this year. The Gamecocks never appeared to back off, and it looks like it is going to pay off for them in the end.

Thomas will be announcing his commitment at 3 PM ET.
