Will be a Georgia State Panther next fall!

He played in a back up role in 2010 as Senior QB Dondre Purnell got the majority of the starts for the Indians. Per Keith Niebuhr of Rivals.com, Thompson threw 14 touchdowns and only 3 INTs in limited action. is an excellent student reporting a 3.5 GPA. Thompson committed after visiting the Georgia State practice facility this morning.
