Robert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Thomson is an interior defensive lineman who is beginning to grab attention from Division I programs as he continues to develop his game. He brings a physical presence to the middle of the defensive front, showing the ability to drive offensive linemen backward and collapse both the pocket and running lanes. His strength at the point of attack allows him to disrupt plays before they develop, forcing offenses to adjust their blocking schemes. Thomson finished the season with 36 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 4 sacks, numbers that reflect his ability to contribute in multiple phases of the defense. His motor and effort level stand out, especially when pursuing plays inside the box. As he heads into the offseason, competing on the camp circuit will be key in elevating his profile.
