Clemson picked up a commitment late Saturday night, as 2024 DL Champ Thompson announced a verbal pledge via social media.
“First I want to thank God for giving me the talent and ability to play this beautiful game of football,” Thompson said via Twitter. “Next, I want to thank my parents for helping me become the young man I am today. I want to thank the Meadowcreek high school football coaching staff, especially coach Bryant Harrison, and my former head coach Jason Carrera for believing in me as well as every coach that has had a chance to coach me and have an impact on my life.
“With that being said, I want to announce that I have made the decision to commit to Clemson University to further my academic and athletic career.”
