Expert Analysis
Brian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Thompson has the prototypical build for a spread offense quarterback. He is tall and has a cannon for an arm. He can push the ball well down the field even when he cannot step into his throws due to the pass rush. Fifty yards in the air look effortless when he can step into his throws. He can both put zip on his throws underneath and, on his next throw, feather a touch pass into the corner of the end zone. Thompson is most effective throwing from the pocket, but he moves well in the pocket, can push the ball deep on the move, and will tuck the ball and run when the situation dictates it.

2nd prephoops.com Thompson has the ideal build for a pocket passer. He is long and athletic – a good combination in basketball, too. He has a strong arm, but what is most impressive is his deep throws are consistently accurate. Often, Thompson drops his deep balls right in the bucket – making his passes extremely catchable for his receivers. He isn’t a running quarterback, but he moves remarkably well in the pocket and will keep the ball on the read option when that is the read. Thompson tends to feel the pressure and can make slight adjustments in the pocket to keep defenders off him. He has the arm strength to push the ball deep while on the move. He is in shotgun most of the time, but unlike many quarterbacks today, he goes under center, too.

Read EvaluationBrian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Like his team, Thompson’s game was a tale of two halves. In the first half, he connected with receivers all over the field. He has a prototypical body for a quarterback and a solid arm to go with it. Especially in the first half, he was deadly with his accuracy on short and intermediate routes. His command of the huddle was most evident when he used the short passing game on the sidelines to move the ball down the field in a first-half two-minute drill. His best moment – unfortunately, by this time, the momentum and lead had swung over to the Cadets – was a throw on the move. He showed his athletic ability, arm talent, and pocket awareness all in one play as he moved laterally, just staying behind the line of scrimmage to complete a pass to the outside.
