Jerrin Thompson

Rangy safety with adequate height and frame potential for the position. Long and lean and will need to fill out frame in college. Plays with strong safety mentality and free safety range. Consistently strong tackler. Arrives with good leverage, then wraps and drives through his target. Will drop the hammer when the opportunity is available. Active, willing, and engaged against the run. Plays with a mean streak. Disruptive at the catch point. Encouraging ability to track throws in the deep portion of the field. Above average verified testing numbers (4.61 40, 4.20 shuttle). Athleticism and playing style could create a special teams terror in college. Could provide position and personnel flexibility. Must add bulk to lean, sinewy frame to maximize strength. Occasionally will take chances with his hits. Will need to hone coverage technique to reach potential against the pass at the next level. One of Texas' top safeties in the 2020 class with all-conference potential at the Power Five level and long-term NFL Draft ceiling.
