Michigan is off to a great start in the early signing period, and head coach Jim Harbaugh had plenty of praise for the newest Wolverines.
According to 247 Sports, the Wolverines currently hold the No. 8 class in the nation for 2019 and the top class across the B1G. The class received an early boost when 5-star safety Daxton Hill flipped from Alabama Wednesday morning, but Michigan’s class is impressively deep.
When commenting on some of the recruits, Harbaugh singled out LB Charles Thomas out of Fairburn, Georgia. Thomas is listed as a 3-star prospect on the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, but Harbaugh believes he will remind fans of Wolverines LB Devin Bush:

Bush has put together two remarkable seasons and was named the 2018 B1G Defensive Player of the Year. He is also leaving for the NFL and is expected to be an early selection in the draft.
Obviously Thomas will need to put the work in to develop into his full potential, but it sure sounds like Harbaugh likes what he sees in the young linebacker.
