RETURNING STANDOUT

2027 Tolsia DL Chase Thompson Chase Thompson 5'9" | 210 lbs | DL Tolsia | 2027 WV is a disruptive presence up front and gives the Rebels a proven lineman to build around. Thompson recorded 47 tackles and 9.5 sacks as a junior, showing he can create havoc in the backfield and be stout against the run. His 5’9 210 frame is smaller than most interior linemen, but he plays with toughness and effort and has found a way to make an impact consistently. Thompson should be one of the leaders of Tolsia’s defense under new head coach Matt Stanley and has a chance to make his senior season his best yet.

Chase Thompson Chase Thompson 5'9" | 210 lbs | DL Tolsia | 2027 WV quietly turned in a productive junior season at Tolsia and enters the offseason with a chance to build real momentum heading into his final year.
