Notable: Thompson is a big, bruising back with surprising speed, agility and quickness for his side. He played two seasons at Dodge City and was named a second team NJCAA All-American last year. Thompson rushed for more than 1,298 yards last season and 18 touchdowns. Thompson is on campus already and will look to win the starting running back spot with the departure of former starter Kelvin Taylor.
Quotable: “I just want to make sure when I come down there that I’m the complete product of Mark Thompson,” he said. “I want to play my best, week in and week out, and I want to live the excitement of the fans and the atmosphere down there instead of just talking about it. I’m going to get prepared for that moment.”
