Thompson is a physical body out wide with athleticism, making himself a YAC threat almost every play. Impressive route runner with a quick break to create separation.  Knows how to use body fakes to create that separation as well. Strong hands with good body control. With that being said, he's not afraid to get out and block for ball carriers using correct angles and hand placement to create leverage. Big riser in the state of Arkansas and someone to watch during the 2024 season.rnrnNote - 4.67 40rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Bryson_KCC/status/1768353037632835964u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1223179' first='Bryson' last='Thompson'] on X: u0022TRACK SEASON SO FAR: HARDING MEET -100m: 1st overall -4x1 relay: 1st overall SEARCY MEET -100m: 1st overall -4x1 relay: 1st overall -200m: 1st overall HEBER SPRINGS MEET -100m: 1st overall @PrepRedzoneAR @ARPrepSports @k_sutherlandAR @big73miller @dlawrence03 https://t.co/QZSQmYNdxEu0022 / X (twitter.com)u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6602195ab7941"} /-->
