Texas received a commitment from Lufkin safety Jerrin Thompson, a four star safety from Lufkin. Thompson is a 6-0, 183 pound athlete who clocked a 4.6 40 and 4.2 short shuttle at Rivals camp, but he’s more of a shoulder pads on the field guy than a workout warrior. Thompson is a great tackler and a big hitter, which aren’t always a combo package. The mean streak and his ability to close distance rapidly are on ample display in his film.
Thompson is fluid and physical with natural ball instincts and that suggests either field safety or nickel are in his future.
