Jeff Thompson Jeff Thompson 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB/ATH Clairton | 2026 State PA is one of those quarterbacks who doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how efficient and controlled he plays. Clairton has plenty of playmakers, but Thompson is the one pulling the strings behind all of it. His arm talent is impressive. The first play on his junior film is a 40-yard throw from the opposite hash dropped perfectly over the receiver’s shoulder, showing off real arm strength and timing. He’s poised in the pocket, works through reads well, and runs the RPO game with comfort and confidence. He’s got that calm presence you want in a QB, never rushed, never flustered, just smooth execution. Even with limited reps due to early blowouts and a team forfeit, he’s still one of the leading passers in the WPIAL. Thompson has the natural tools and leadership makeup to play at the next level. He’s accurate, composed, and has the football IQ to make things look easy.

Jeff Thompson Jeff Thompson 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB/ATH Clairton | 2026 State PA is a good quarterback who has the tools to play even better this season. He has an excellent arm and knows exactly how to put the perfect amount of touch on the ball. He throws a good deep ball as he puts good touch on the ball when he throws it. I like how he stays in the pocket. He is always scanning for open receivers, and he is willing to stay in the pocket and wait for his receivers to get open. He also shows guts by staying in there, delivering a good ball, and throwing the ball to the open receiver. Thompson has the tools to play College Football in the future.
