Expert Analysis
Michael Huntley | Prep Redzone Scout
Thompson was very efficient last season completing 74 percent of his passes for 2058 yards with 25 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
He has a smooth release and the ball comes out of his hand nicely. Thompson has really good pocket awareness and throws well off-platform.

It’s hard to call a guy with an offer from Toledo a sleeper, but Thompson is an under-recruited guy who has a high ceiling.
He completed 74 percent of his passes for 106 yards with 25 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Thompson is good at avoiding pressure while staying in the pocket and going through progressions. His release is quick and the ball is tight to his body. The arm talent he has is promising and he has a high football IQ for a sophomore.

Read EvaluationZack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Thompson picked up his first offer from Toledo in June after producing a breakout freshman season with Escondido last fall (1,800 passing yards, 19 TDs). The 6’/180 pocket-passer showed promising arm talent and feel from the pocket last season. He operates with clean footwork, has a working internal clock, and looks comfortable avoiding pressure and going through his progressions. Thompson should continue to generate D-I interest as one of the top passers in San Diego’s 2027 class.
