Committed to UCLA since July, Orchard Lake St. Mary's prospect Earnest Thomas recently withdrew his commitment to the Bruins, re-opening the recruiting process.

A three-star prospect at safety, ranked the No. 13 prospect in Michigan by Rivals.com — and the top-rated prospect still uncommitted — Thomas played running back and linebacker for the Eaglets, who lost to East Grand Rapids in the Division 3 state championship game. Thomas had offers from six Big Ten schools prior to his commitment.

With plenty of coaching changes in the Midwest, Thomas could find himself inundated with calls before signing day in three weeks, as teams with new coaches try to scramble to catch up in the recruiting wars.
