His mother, Sharon Thompson (née Dickie), is a former cross country and track and field standout at Tennessee who was an All-American and an SEC champion. His father, Kevin Thompson, is a former decathlete at Tennessee who also was a walk-on wide receiver for the Vols. His grandfather, Joe Thompson, also played wide receiver at Tennessee.

Luke Thompson admitted his parents are looking forward to seeing him play at their alma mater.

Bocephus approves.

Happy for the kid, but definitely a meh offer list

For the staff?

Agree, but he is better than his star rating, I think. Just based on seeing him play a couple times.

He's also raw. Focusing on track has probably impeded his football development some. He'll add weight/muscle and start focusing on football. That speed can't be taught.

I like the pick up, just don’t like it paired with the other safety. Too many projects in that group year after year

Thompson is ranked way lower but hes the better athlete at safety. In regards to McClain

The skillset and speed of Thompson gives him a shot to make an impact down the road imo.

McClain is sound fundamentally and physical at the point of attack, but his lack of explosive ability worries me

Yea at this point it’s no knock on any of these kids, I just want a top100 recruit at DB. It’s the only position that fail to do so yearly. Granted they’ve played pretty well, a lot transfer out though and just overall too many projects. There is no reason Turrentine should be a starter at safety IMO

Craig Tutt will make this safety class look better.

They seem to recruit to the room instead of the position
