2028 Nijal Thigpen 3* OT from Miramar [via Carol City and IMG]

[lindend]

Nijal Thigpen has made several visits to Canes games and is visiting again for the Louisville game. Was previously at IMG and Carol City but now is at Miramar. Mirabal doesn't seem to have offered yet, but this could change after the visit. Picked up an offer on June 2, 2026.

If that's his kid, I need to see pictures of his wife. How would he end up in Opa-Locka?

So he started his HS career at IMG, but is back at CC already, still as a soph?

That's a weird route

Big kid (6'6 280) and based off the hudl I think the reason for the strange route is...he's raw

2028 - Nijal Thigpen, OT, 6’6, 280 – 3.5 GPA. Came to Carol City from Bradenton IMG Academy.

Can play Tackle or either guard. Nice nifty feet, a mauler type and good pass protection.

Not a lot of game film on this guy but certainly has the size for a 2029 kid..Worth watching develop.

Travon Martinez (2029) a 6'4"/295 O-line man that started as a freshman and can either tackle or guard.

Not a lot of game film but for a young 2029 OL moves rather well.
