Anyone know of him?

 

[VolsFan5]

His dad ran track at Tennessee

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

According to the VQ recruiting wrap up video, his dad was a student athlete at Tennessee. Sounded like track and field.

We’ve offered him at safety but other schools like him at receiver.

40 was laser timed. Mom and dad were both track athletes at UT and his grandad played receiver with Bobby Scott…Phil Fulmer and Tim Priest.

And what was the time?

Yes

And what was the time?

4.41 at Under Armour camp in New Orleans last month. Legit speedster with a 10.65 PR in 100m, clocked at 21.7 mph in one game last year.

So we're recruiting him as a safety. The coaches told him he needs to work on flipping his hips and backpedaling. He's probably faster than many of our current safeties, but he seems like a faster than quick type of athlete.

I agree. We need to have difference makers at safeties like the elite programs have, where the safeties are the best athletes on the field.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

We already have an elite athlete project at Safety. Sidney Walton.

Why not a scholarship?

Both parents were track All Americans. His dad also played football.

 

[tnsportsfan53]

His granddad must be Joe Thompson who played at Hardin County High (Savannah) back in the mid 1960's. Same high school as Latrell Bumpus.

Same Joe Thompson that used a chainsaw to cut a desk in half on the Football Finals Radio show ?

His father, Kevin, earned All-American honors as a decathlete for UT in 2002. His mother, Sharon (Dickie), was named an AA in both T&F (5000 meters) and cross country.

Thompson ran a 10.59 100m last week at the state meet, finishing 7th but setting a new PR.

10.59 got SEVENTH?! Tennessee state track must be having a crazy year because mid 10's usually wins it.

A safety with this kind of speed is something we haven't had since Janzen and if it translates we better sign this kid

 

[Go Fight Win]

oh yeah his film is great. one handed int sold me

Damn he finished 7th in Tennessee with a 10.59???

That used to be good enough to win gold back 20 years ago.

Same thing I said but you beat me to it!!

I remember James Rainer of Alcoa running a 10.6 and winning the State 100 meter.

10.59 would be understandable for 7th if it were in Texas or Florida. But Tennessee? That’s crazy

 

[LittleVol]

Here it is. That’s nuts. Taylor for Riverdale ran a 10.35

I was going to say the same thing. 10.59 wins in a LOT of states. To finish 7th with that time is crazy.
