He chose the Seminoles over fellow finalists Georgia, Alabama, and Wake Forest, all of whom pushed for his commitment, and another two dozen offers from power schools. I would assume we\u2019ll see his ranking rise with a strong senior season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Last season as a junior at Crest High School, Thompson racked up 53 catches for 865 yards (16.3 YPC) and 13 touchdowns, with another touchdown coming off a punt return. His sophomore campaign at Shelby High saw totals of 46 receptions for 746 yards (16.2 YPC) and seven touchdowns. Consistently productive on the field and an accomplished track athlete in sprints, Thompson has the tools needed to become a key part of an offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Thompson finished up his official visits with FSU and it certainly made a strong impression on him. Between a strong offer for NIL opportunities (Thompson said it was among his highest offers) and the opportunity for playing time, Thompson decided in favor of Florida State. Now the \u2018Noles have to hang on, especially if Bama or Georgia miss out on other targets and turn up the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles added the verbal commitment of another skill player to #Tribe27 today,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[11398,167416,399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-714564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-florida-state-football","tag-florida-state-football-recruiting","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=714564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/714564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=714564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=714564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=714564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
