Long, disruptive Wake Forest edge with pro-level production upside
In the 2006 season, Wake Forest DE Jeremy Thompson stood out as a rangy 6-5, 264-pound edge defender who was ranked 40th nationally at his position by Rivals, and he later developed into a productive starter with 112 career tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 20.5 tackles for loss at Wake Forest. He fits the mold of a strong-side end who brings length, toughness, and a history of making plays behind the line, with enough versatility that he even showed up in some linebacker listings later on. If you want a physical, high-motor defender with a proven college résumé, he’s a credible fit—though the fact that he last played in 2009 makes him a historical rather than current prospect.
