DB Jayme Thompson (Transfer to Iowa Western; Indiana Verbal)

Thompson just had a nice sack/FF that was incorrectly ruled an incompletion. CCHS could have housed it to go up 21-0. Thompson's speed has impressed me so far.

As an aside, I know Jayme's brother pretty well. He comes from a great family which seems to be a theme for the 2013 class.
:oh:

I believe he will be held out of the game due to injury, but he will be there. Injury happened in practice this week.

I'll look for the link where I read it and update.

#OhioState commit Jayme Thompson who is not playing in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl today due to injury. Taivon Jacobs is though.

Recruiting trails lead to football-crazed Ohio
State among nation?s best in producing top prospects
BY DAVID BRIGGS
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

Jayme Thompson grew up a product of his basketball-mad environment.

In Washington, where he lived with his mother through the eighth grade, Thompson said he played "all day, every day." So did most of his friends, who hoped to be the next hoops stars in a city overflowing with them. This season, five D.C.-area schools have appeared in ESPN's top 25 prep basketball poll.

"You see the football fields those guys play on in the D.C. area, it's really bad," said Thompson, who became a standout guard for his middle school basketball team. "Nobody really cares. But the basketball gyms for the top programs are great. I was always playing."

Then he moved to Ohio.

Today, the Central Catholic senior is among the nation?s top football recruits ? a result nudged in part by the changing culture around him.

While the South?s growing monopoly of elite high school football prospects threatens the long-term viability of the Big Ten, Ohio remains a striking holdout to the trend. A state where football is the religion that transcends denomination remains the last one in the conference?s traditional geographic footprint to produce Division I recruits at a per-capita rate above the national average.

The story of Thompson?s rise from a high school freshman who only picked up football as a way to pass the time before basketball season to a four-star prospect committed to play for Ohio State is one of ability and year-round sweat but also of the broader influences keeping this industrial state as the North?s foremost factory of elite gridiron prospects.

Its funny that yes, DC is heavily in favor of basketball, but go 30-40min north or south of the district and you have 2 states that are very crazy about football in maryland and Virginia. Both states with cities near DC have nationally ranked football teams every year.
Anyway, im glad that we got thompson coming in. He'll be a valuable asset at S soon enough. Is he more FS or SS?
