What jumps out with Aidan Thompson Aidan Thompson 6'2" | 265 lbs | DL Liberty | 2028 State AZ is how easy he moves for his size. Interior guys aren’t supposed to be that quick laterally, but he is, and it shows up right away. Guards think they’re set and he’s already crossing their face or working into space they can’t recover to. It’s not just quick feet, either. There’s some real substance to his game. He keeps his eyes on the ball through traffic, doesn’t get lost in the wash, and that’s a big deal for a young interior player. When he finds it, he takes them down with some pop and finishes with intent. You can tell he wants ballcarriers to feel him. The other part I liked is that the movement doesn’t come at the expense of strength. He can sit down, play with leverage, and hold up through tougher reps, even when there’s extra attention on him. There’s a plan to how he rushes, and then he hits you with that short-area burst, and the plan becomes, “see ball get ball”. Put it all together and you get a really intriguing prospect that’d I’d be keeping a close eye on. He’s already a problem inside, and with how he moves and competes, the arrow’s clearly pointing up.
