Sam Thompson reported, “I have an offer from Wofford and Harvard. I’m getting interest from Middle Tennessee, Ohio University, and Elon.”
He went to say of Middle Tennessee, “They seem to have really good coaching staff. They have a lot of young coaches that are trying to turn that program around. I have been on campus and they showed us around the weight room. The field is very nice. I’ve talked to their receivers coach and he said they were interested but he didn’t mention a scholarship.”
Ohio University is a school that has shown some interest in Thompson. He explained, “I got a call from them back in May and they said they wanted to touch base because they had watched my film. I have not been up there yet.”
Thompson feels his field awareness makes him a good ball player. He said, “I try and study what other teams to do and I really stick to the assignment and what the coaches give us. If you make the read right the first time it will make you a faster and better player.”
Many prospects want to find ways to improve their physical abilities. Thompson seems to have the right ideas, “I would like to improve my vertical, speed, and getting faster.”
As far as his expectations for his team he said, “I think we are going to be alright. We lost about five or six starters. We’ve got a quarterback who is going to try to replace Randall.” When asked about the chance to repeat as state champions he responded, “Yes sir, definitely.”
