Pre-injury:

"Wisconsin returns just one starter up front in Thompson Jr. As a junior, Thompson had his best season as a Badger, recording 29.0 tackles, 3.0 sacks, and 5.5 tackles for loss. He also had a career-high two pass breakups in his 13 games of action."

"Thompson, a four-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree"

Actually came back and played later this past season starting with the Nebraska game in November

He's definitely a Take!

 

[Go Fight Win]

If healthy this would be very nice

 

[RiseToTheTop]

So would he be a graduate transfer then?

If Rodney Garner approves, then I'm good.

This should be the auto post for every new DL recruit.

 

[pricevol5]

Super high character kid, scheme versatile, will fit into our platoon-style line rotation without ego and make his snaps count. Would be a perfect addition.

Oh PLEASE! As a Wisconsin native this gives me AMMO

Let’s do this

 

[RandomUTfan]

This seems like one of those old school portal situations where everything is arranged and documents just need signing.

 

[DaddyChad]

Thompson, Thompson, Moe, and Shaw sounds like a legit law firm for the trenches.

Love seeing PBUs from defensive linemen. An underrated stat that usually shows the player hustles, has good awareness, and creates plays for others as tipped passes are gifts to LBs and Safeties.

I really like these transfers that are ranked mediocre as hs recruits and much higher as transfer prospects( as opposed to.the recruits thst were highly ranked out of hs)..see jermod McCoy's recruiting profile.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Was this guy able to get in for a visit this past weekend? Haven’t heard anything about it

 

[SoilVol]

clearly targeting Big Ten transfers since we will have to play games in December and January every year now

 

[VolByLaw]

He said Tennessee set the bar high on the visit even though he wasn't here long. Thompson is now headed to SMU. Illinois is up after that then Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Said he wants to make a visit sooner rather than later and when he finds a place he will be done. No need to drag it out. Obviously wants to have something to compare Tennessee to.
