Everything went great. Im liking it a lot, said Thompson, whos ranked the No. 7 overall prospect and No. 1 defensive tackle in the 2015 class by 247Sports.
I think theyre above Florida State right now. Georgias number one, and Tennessees number two right now.
When I had went to go chill with some recruits, they were like, Youre going to love it up here. I was just loving it,
It was better than what I expected. The weight room, it was ooh, it was nice and where they eat after practice, theyve got a whole thing set up where they eat Gatorade everywhere. And all the coaching staff, I just liked it a lot.
I went in the stadium to start taking pictures, Thompson said. I took a picture with (jersey) number 78. Thats my number. I like that number a lot. I went in the stadium, and its so big.
They were like, We need you up here, he said. Theyre losing, like, six defensive linemen. Its only 13, so I was like, Dang. I would be starting in no time if I go there. (Jones) was just talking to me like, We need you. We love your highlights.
And the D-line coach, he was like, I watched your highlights. You stay low and you know how to get off the ball. ... If I go there, Im going to play three-technique (defensive tackle).
Oh, Im going back, for sure, Thompson said. (In regards to wether or not he'll visit Tennessee again.
