Memphis RB Jordan Thompson brings compact, committed downhill juice
Jordan Thompson is a 2026 Memphis freshman running back from Coconut Creek High in Pompano Beach, listed at 6-foot-0 and about 201 pounds by Memphis, with recruiting profiles showing him as a signed 2026 back who chose the Tigers after a busy process. His appeal is the classic “good luck tackling him clean” blend: compact size, sturdy frame, and a profile that suggests he can handle contact and stay on schedule. He looks like a fit for a physical run game, especially if Memphis wants a back who can grind, pass protect, and carry a decent workload without needing a highlight-reel runway every touch.
