experienced WSU tight end with real buy-in and upside
Thompson has carved out a steady role at Washington State by showing patience, work ethic, and a clear commitment to becoming a reliable tight end. In limited recent production, he posted 13 catches for 110 yards in the cited season, and Seattle Times noted he was still in the mix to compete for a bigger role, with coaches praising his passion for doing the job right. His appeal is less about splashy stats than dependability, maturity, and a long path to earning trust—useful traits if you want a TE who can develop into a more complete, coachable piece.
