DeCorian Thompson brings proven playmaking and two-way upside to UTEP
Thompson is a committed UTEP cornerback prospect from Mount Pleasant who already showed high-end production on offense, totaling 434 receiving yards, 24 catches, and five touchdowns in 2024.[1][2] At 5-10 and about 170-175 pounds, he profiles as a competitive, quick-twitch defender whose recruiting status shows schools viewed him as a legitimate CB prospect, with UTEP landing the commitment over a Kansas State offer.[2][3] He looks like a fit if you value speed, ball skills, and an athlete who can create impact beyond just traditional defensive stats.[1][2][3]
