Listed as the nation’s No. 16 ranked safety and No. 32 ranked player in the state, Jerrin Thompson is considered to be one of more underrated prospects from the state of Texas. In fact, it wasn’t until late last month when the Texas Longhorns offered Thompson.
Just a few short weeks later and the Lufkin product is now a member of the Longhorns’ 2020 class.
Standing just over 6’0, the athletic 185-pound safety possesses a fairly ideal frame for a high school safety. Thompson fits the prototypical mold of previous safeties that Texas has recruited under Tom Herman.
