Expert Analysis

Shayne Pickering

Prep Redzone Scout

With former Tennessee Volunteers offensive line coach Don Mahoney now in charge, Knoxville Webb has a very exciting collection of young offensive lineman to build around, including freshman tackle Jamil Thompson Jamil Thompson 6'5" | 315 lbs | OL/DL McCallie | 2029 TN .

He already has adequate length for the tackle position with weight on his frame. He is raw and needs to improve his quickness among other things, but the potential is there, and he should reach it with the coach he is playing under moving forward.

Just two weeks after reporting his first verbal offer from Hampton University, it was good to check out Jamil Thompson Jamil Thompson 6'5" | 315 lbs | OL/DL McCallie | 2029 TN in person. Please believe that he is every bit of the 6-foot-4 and 300-pounds that he’s listed at. The starter at Right Tackle come game time, that looks to be a perfect fit for Thompson in terms of allowing his attributes to be on display. Comes with incredibly long arms–quite literally all 10 finger tips hang down to his knees. On top of physical gifts, I got the sense that he’s incredibly intelligent kid–which was later confirmed by coaches telling me he has long term aspirations of working in aerospace engineering. Once his mean streak comes out and he shows that “dog in him”, there should be no shortage of schools looking for a kid that gets it done in multiple sports and in the classroom.

It doesn’t matter what state a school is in, how big or small the school is, or what the level of competition is–any coach in America would be happy with a prospect that lists himself at 6-foot-4 and 300-pounds in the eighth-grade.

The starter at Right Tackle, opposite at Left Tackle, is a welcomed book end for the Spartans. Part of a massive Offensive Line that paved the way for a lot of success this season.

On film it’s clear to see the potential that Thompson has as a two-way lineman. While he physically overpowers the opposition at this point, he can play a bit high at times. He can get away with it for now, but he’ll need to correct it. If he continues to work on staying low, he could be one of the best linemen in Tennessee come 2029.
