Versatile DB with Tackling Prowess from Memphis Tigers (2012)
DeAndre Thompson, a 6-1 defensive back for the 2012 Memphis Tigers, stood out with season-high five tackles in consecutive games against SMU and Marshall, including a key quarterback sack on the road—highlighting his explosive pass-rush ability and reliability in high-pressure spots. Transfer from Texas A&M where he logged 13 tackles as an ace special teamer, his multi-phase intensity and athleticism (also a track standout) make him a gritty, coachable fit for teams needing versatile DBs who elevate coverage and ST units; no notable injury history adds to his appeal.
