Bro I never heard a HS announcer in these highlights be that detailed and professional. This dude looks good on tape I need to see measurables though.

He’s solid. All good weight too. Hits the weights hard.

Bill Trout and Coach Harold Allen were Conchs also…

Were we the first ones to pursuit? Seems like the rankings haven’t found this gem

No. Several lower tier B10 schools (Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern) have been recruiting him and he's made game day visits to a couple of them last year.

He about took the KR kids head off with that clothesline on the 2nd highlight

I believe we just got involved. Yesterday was the 1st time I’ve heard us mentioned.

Wasn't Corey Sawyer (FSU) too?

His younger brother, Anthony Thompson, could have been the man. He went to Illinois for a couple years. Bigger, faster, stronger. He looked like an NFL safety in high school.

Mike Rodriguez coached at UM from 79-84 and was from KW.

See he has an Illinois offer. Big fan of Bert Bielema but they have been doing a great job of d line evaluation lately

Gonna have to fight the Hawkeyes off for this one!

Two other former coaches who were from KW or coached at the school was Bill Trout and perhaps the greatest college DL coach ever, Harold Allen.

MLB great Boog Powell also played at KW.
