Having a nose for the ball is always an attribute any linebacker wants to have. That is certainly the case for Tompkins who leads the state with 84 tackles through five games. He finds himself around the ball often and his ability to tackle stands out on film. Tompkins’ ability to change direction is impressive, and he is a big hitter with natural instincts.
