Theo Thompson brings speed, size, and safety depth to Portland State
Theo Thompson is a 6-foot, 195-pound defensive back for Portland State who redshirted in 2024 and, in the 2024 season, appeared in two games with two tackles, so the sample is small but the arrow is pointing up. Portland State’s staff described him as a “big, strong, athletic safety that makes a lot of plays,” and his high school résumé backs that up: 114 tackles, five interceptions, 10 pass breakups, plus verified track speed. He looks like a developmental fit for teams that value range, physicality, and upside in the back end.
