Versatile, battle-tested LSU linebacker with a nasty motor
Corey Thompson’s LSU profile is that of a physical, versatile linebacker who could line up at both linebacker and safety, and LSU described him as quick in pursuit, dependable against the run, and solid in coverage. His biggest differentiator was resilience: injuries cost him multiple seasons, but he kept fighting back and brought veteran leadership and an aggressive edge when he was on the field. In his final LSU season, he posted 43 tackles and 6 sacks, a nice little reminder that this was more than just a glue-guy defender. If you want toughness, experience, and sideline-to-sideline range, he fit the bill.
