A name that routinely flies under the radar when talking about Hurricane defensive line targets is 2027 DT Jamar Thompson.

However, the 6-foot-3, 300-pound lineman with national offers from schools such as Ohio State and Michigan made his interest in Miami clear. The West Boca product pointed to freshman running back Javian Mallory’s development and had some interesting things to say on where Miami stacks up in his recruitment.

Overall visit recap:

“It was great coming out here, seeing everybody compete and dominate. It was good to watch them practice and do their thing.”

“Really just came here to see where I fit in Miami’s scheme, I like how everything's going. So I think I'll be a good fit.”

“The [D-line] did great today. I see them going out to compete — trying to get back to the natty.”

On what stands out about Miami:

“I know that I got two great D-line coaches looking over me … “Knowing that I have a coach that's going to push me every day to my limits to be great, I know that I could trust them.”

"[Cristobal’s] a great guy, you're gonna get a lot out of him. You are for sure going to get a guy who wants to win.”

On the message from the coaching staff and that impact:

“Really just being consistent. Go hard every play, don't give up, push through every play and it'll come out great.”

On having Miami interest as a local talent:

“Just to know that I got a great school in my backyard. I mean, it's great to have.”

“Seeing [Javian Mallory], how good a mental mindset he has from coming here and how big he got develop-wise, I feel like I'll be able to do the same thing.”

On where Miami stands in his recruitment process:

“Top one”

 

 

Why did we slow play him again ?

 

Why did we slow play him again ?

Because his legs resemble the Brown Hornet's lol! Google that if you if never seen him or too young to remember lol!

 

Send Javian to seal the deal.

 

Why did we slow play him again ?

No exact reason given however we did indeed slow play him.

This was the last update we got

- The Canes hit at West Boca last year with Javian Mallory, and are looking to go back to the well. DT Jamar Thompson remains a strong option, and the staff loved their in-person view of CB Loia Valade, who moved to South Florida from Tennessee. He is a legit 5'11, 180 with verified 4.4 speed. Keep an eye on that name.

Never saw d$ say that we love Thompson — compared with that said for other prospects — when searching for other tidbits

 

Just bring him home. Hard to find guys like that in your backyard.

 

and this is the game against one of the best teams in dc i saw...i think st johns.

He isnt 6'3.

looks to be about 6'1 300+ but the dude is active and has performed his sr year for sure.

 

If Thompson is who we get to replace Jenkins to go with Ayangbile and Johnson,comparing DT spending to WR,CB and DE we went cheap wich I think means we're spending big on one of the top available portal DTs.

If he is only 6’1 then my tune changes a bit tbh, that isn’t the body type that I imagined.

I know “believed to be” is far from verified but that’d be pretty irresponsible to report if he is truly no taller than 6’1. No 6’1 300+ isn’t the end of the world, but it changes my opinion of what he can be here and would temper my expectations some. I will say he doesn’t look the longest in that video though.

If he was 6-4 300 he would be committed to Georgia not GT or most likely us as we would have jumped on him early.

 

We passed on Calijah Kancey even though he was 6’0 280 and he ended up as an All-American at Pitt. Please lets focus on production and not just measurables.

I agree, production is important for DTs. The staff will do what they do but just an fyi thompsons actual counting stats haven’t changed much at all from last year. On the pace to be nearly identical.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t playing better etc etc just wanted to point that out

How is his motor? He doesn’t seem to have a non stop motor like most of the DL this staff goes after, could be the reason for the slow play.

 

Miami will be hitting the portal with some money at DT so whatever the staff thinks on this kid. He wouldn’t see the field for multiple years either way.

I think Scott should return and take the NIL bag verse being a 4th rd pick
