Avery Thompson brings veteran instincts and downhill reliability to Maryland’s linebacker room
In the 2015 season, Avery Thompson was a steady Maryland linebacker who played in all 12 games, started seven, and finished with 36 tackles and 2 pass breakups—good production from a player valued more for consistency than flash. He came in as a 6-2, 208-pound senior with four years of experience, which showed up in his poise and reliability on the back end of the defense. If you want a disciplined, dependable tackler who knows his assignments and won’t get rattled, Thompson fits the bill.
