The stats show Thompson  had limited playing time to play. In this era of college football the players can find opportunities to play outside of the elite college teams.  This might be the perfect landing spot for Thompson in a league such as American Athletic conference to show off his Air Raid  skill set. Sumrall may be known for his defense, but needs a QB he can trust to keep up with offenses like Memphis, UTSA, and FAU on Saturdays.

He won numerous awards that season, including the All-American Bowl Offensive Player of the Year, Maxwell Football Club Offensive Player of the Year, Ed Doherty Award and was the Arizona Gatorade Football Player of the Year.

Exciting day for the Wave. I expect Thompson to come in and compete for the starting job, and be ready to accept the responsibility of leading this team in 2024.

Kansas City Chiefs 🏹 #ChiefsKingdom TE - Tulane Green Wave Johnny Pascuzzi- jpazzedout 6-4/241 Scouting Report: Athletic tight end with good size and receiving ability who played at Tulane after time at Iowa. Brings the Iowa tight end pedigree with solid blocking fundamentals and improving receiving production in spread offenses. Local Kansas City area product adds extra intrigue for the Chiefs. Strengths Athleticism and size: Impressive combination of height, length, and speed for the position. Good vertical and explosiveness allow him to win in the red zone and down the seam.

Blocking tenacity: Iowa-developed blocker who plays with good leverage and effort. Willing to engage defenders in the run game and as a pass protector. Football IQ and versatility: Smart player who understands scheme and can align in-line, in the slot, or split wide. High character and special teams contributor potential.
