James Thompson brings a limited but efficient early look for Alabama State
James Thompson has only a small statistical footprint so far in 2025, with 2 carries for 6 yards and no touchdowns for Alabama State, so the sample is too thin to call him a feature back yet.[1] What makes him worth watching is less about box-score volume and more about whether he can carve out a role in a Hornets offense that scored 42.42 points per game in 2025, where backfield efficiency and trust in short-yardage situations matter.[1][6] Right now, he profiles as a depth-piece with upside rather than a proven centerpiece.[1]
