Jet Thompson brings big-play juice to UTEP, with a career 42.1 yards per catch
Jet Thompson is a lean, explosive deep threat for UTEP who has turned very limited volume into splash plays: in the 2025 season, he had 4 kickoff returns for 64 yards and, across his college career, he has 8 catches for 337 yards and 3 total touchdowns. He stands out for track-speed-style efficiency and return value, not box-score volume, which makes him a useful change-up weapon if a team wants instant vertical stress and field-position pop. The caution flag: he has yet to prove he can be a high-usage every-down receiver, so his best fit is as a field-stretching specialist who can turn a few touches into a headache for defenses.
