first got on our radar during the spring of 2023. He was just finishing up his freshman year and was participating in a team camp. Thompson is a dominating offensive lineman that is very impressive to watch from a physical standpoint. Thompson stands around 6’6 and he’s continued to add weight to his frame, making him an even more dominant offensive lineman. And at the Class 2A level, in either division, you simply don’t find players like Thompson very often. Thompson had a strong sophomore season and is looking to elevate his game again. He will anchor the line of an offense that can be dominant.

and he’s probably the biggest unknown when it comes to this group. But Thompson was a prospect that we got a chance to see in person at the Verdigris team camp back in May. Thompson immediately caught the attention of our staff as well as a few college coaches in attendance. Once we found out that Thompson was just a 2026 prospect, the excitement about his potential certainly went up. Thompson is still raw and there’s a lot of work to become a more polished blocker when you compare him to some of the other linemen in this group. But he already has the physical frame and as we always hear when it comes to football, you can’t coach size. Thompson has it at 6’6 and he definitely has the potential to rocket up the rankings at this position.

is the only 2026 prospect to make it onto this breakdown. He just finished up his freshman year in high school and when we watched some of the different offensive lines go to work on Thursday, it was hard not to be impressed with Thompson just based on the size. He looks like he’s at least 6’5 and was lining up at left tackle throughout the morning in Verdigris. Talking with a few college coaches that were in attendance, when we found out that Thompson was just a 2026 prospect, that rose the level of excitement with his game. There’s still a lot of room for improvement but Thompson has the size and potential to be one of the better guys at his position.
