New Mexico State’s Jamaun Thompson brings rangy EDGE upside and backfield disruption
Jamaun Thompson is a 2026 Booker High School EDGE prospect who signed with New Mexico State after a senior season featuring 31 tackles and 15 tackles for loss, which points to a steady backfield disruptor rather than just a pure sack hunter. At 6-2, 230, he brings a versatile defensive profile and enough length/edge flexibility to fit multiple fronts, while his production suggests urgency and active hands in the run game. He looks like a good fit for a staff that values motor, assignment versatility, and developmental pass-rush upside.
