In a move that has sent shockwaves through college football recruiting, five-star offensive lineman Soloman Thomas has officially flipped his commitment from Florida State to LSU, giving the Tigers a huge boost for the future. The 6’6″, 320-pound tackle, considered one of the top offensive line prospects in the nation, made the decision on National Signing Day, solidifying LSU’s position as a recruiting powerhouse.
For LSU, landing a talent like Thomas is more than just a win; it’s a game-changer. Known for his immense size, athleticism, and versatility, Thomas is expected to be an immediate contributor to the Tigers’ offensive line. His ability to play both tackle and guard makes him an invaluable asset to the Tigers, who are looking to build a formidable offensive line for the 2025 season and beyond.
Why Thomas Chose LSU
Thomas’ flip from Florida State to LSU may have caught some by surprise, but the Tigers’ program had long been in the mix, building strong relationships with the top recruit. LSU’s tradition of developing NFL-caliber offensive linemen, combined with head coach Brian Kelly’s proven track record of success, played a significant role in his decision. Kelly’s ability to develop talent and create a winning environment has resonated with Thomas, who sees Baton Rouge as the ideal place to further his development.
Another key factor in Thomas’ commitment was LSU’s offensive scheme. Under offensive line coach Brad Davis, the Tigers have developed a reputation for running a pro-style offense that prioritizes offensive line strength. Thomas, who has the athleticism to be a dominant force in both the running and passing game, fits perfectly into that system.
What This Means for LSU
With Thomas now in the fold, LSU’s 2025 recruiting class continues to impress. The Tigers are building a powerful foundation in the trenches, an area often overlooked in recruiting but essential to winning championships. As LSU looks to remain competitive in the SEC, bolstering the offensive line is a crucial step, and Thomas will play a pivotal role in that effort.
In addition to his on-field abilities, Thomas brings leadership and a winning mentality to LSU. His commitment represents a shift in momentum for the Tigers as they continue to recruit elite talent at every position. With one of the top offensive linemen in the nation now committed, LSU’s future looks even brighter.
The road ahead for LSU’s offense just got a lot stronger, and with Soloman Thomas joining the fold, the Tigers are poised to dominate the SEC and continue their rise to national prominence.
