Thompson projects to play outside linebacker and picked NC State over offers from Tennessee, Duke, Wake Forest, and East Carolina among others.

Previously he attended the Under Armour All-American Camp in Charlotte where he felt he performed well.

“It went pretty good,” he said.  “I showed up late so I rushed into it.  Overall it was fun; it was a good experience."

He measured in at 6' 3.5” and 181 pounds, which is light for a linebacker. But he did point out he’s lost weight for track and normally plays around 195 pounds.

“I can get bigger, for sure, with my frame,” Thompson said.  “I know I need to get bigger and you can always increase your speed and IQ, especially at the linebacker position.

“I think my strengths are my motor and versatility. I play fast and I can move around and make plays... I feel like I'm a playmaker.  I also like hitting, too.”

Inside Pack Sports will have more shortly from Thompson on his decision so stay tuned!
