Nebraska’s bruising RB2 with efficient early-career flashes
Thompkins has been viewed as Nebraska’s No. 2 running back behind Dedrick Mills, and his profile points to a compact, physical back who can stay efficient when given limited touches; in his Nebraska stats, he has 24 rushing yards on 5 carries for 4.8 yards per carry with no touchdowns.[2][3][7] His college appeal is less about volume and more about readiness, since he was trusted in the rotation and brings a rugged, downhill style, though injuries have been part of his background dating back to high school.[5][6]
