Dutch Fork’s Bryce Thompson hasn’t announced his college decision yet but if he picks South Carolina, two coaches believe he could have a big impact for the Gamecocks.
“He’d instantly upgrade South Carolina. He is a special player,” Dutch Fork coach Tom Knotts said following Saturday’s state championship victory against Dorman.
Knotts said earlier in the week Thompson was the best player he’s coached in 37 years and he delivered in the 28-27 victory. He didn’t come off the field much, playing receiver and running back on offense and in the secondary.
Thompson, who is ranked as a three-star recruit, finished with 168 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning 25-yarder in the fourth quarter.
