Daejuan Thompson brings an attack-minded linebacker profile to Gardner-Webb
Thompson is a physical, high-motor **LB** with a track record of production from his high school days — including **115 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, 15 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles** as a senior — plus special-teams experience early in college, which suggests toughness and versatility. He was rated among North Carolina’s better prep defenders and adds size, urgency, and backfield disruption potential; for a team, that makes him the kind of linebacker who can fit if you want a downhill, aggressive defender who plays with edge rather than just chase stats.
