About Dean
Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Thompson’s athleticism allowed him to convert from OT to a TE as a junior. 6’2” 225 lbs. he excelled both as a blocker and receiver lining up as an H-back or in the slot. His background as an offensive lineman gave him the ability to be an effective blocker lining up across the formation to seal the edge, climb to the second level, or lead on the perimeter. He understands leverage in the run game and is able to generate vertical push at the POA. He locks on and sustains blocks with good foot movement and strong/controlled hands. Proved to be a reliable receiving threat at the short/intermediate levels. He’s got a good feel for finding space and is able to win at the catch point with body positioning and strong hands. Skillset offers true three down value. One to watch.
