He can through on the run and in the pocket making him what many are saying as the top dual threat quarterback in the state for his class.

He runs with a long/physical stride that is a bit deceptive as he can run well too. It seems he has most of his route tree down pact which is one of many reasons why I expect him to have a major impact for the varsity squad in 2024. Thompson is already 6'0 and growing, he is going to be a force for years to come.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Npa9Tu0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1311683' first='Ivan' last='Thompson'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"TayShawn Branche","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"167","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Maury","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Maury defensive back TayShawn Branche is here to stay at on defense for the Commodores.

Jack Austin is one of several sophomore wideouts who will be pushing for playing time on the opposite side of Harris, who as we know has already made his mark for the Huskies.
