Freshman QB Dillon Compton brings a proven arm and homegrown confidence to Southern
Compton enters Southern as a **6-foot-1, 200-pound freshman quarterback** from Bunkie, Louisiana, with a track record of high school production: he threw for **3,295 yards and 44 TDs** in his varsity career, including a strong senior season at Bunkie[1][2][3]. His profile suggests a passer who can handle volume and create scoring opportunities, which matters if you want a QB who can grow into an offense rather than just manage it[3]. The key question is translation to the college game—he’s an active young arm, but there’s no current Southern stat line in the sources yet[1][17].
