As a 5-star wide receiver out of high school, Perry Thompson had high expectations for his first season on the Plains. While adjusting to playing football in the SEC and competing with the likes of KeAndre Lamber-Smith and his peers Cam Coleman and Malcolm Simmons for playing time, Thompson didn't live up to his own expectations.
Instead of being discouraged, though, Thompson let it fuel him through the offseason, and he has been working to take his game to the next level ahead of his sophomore season. The wide receiver's improvements from last year have been noticeable.
