New colleges recruiting Lakota West’s Thompson
Lakota West High senior RB Jordan Thompson has caught the attention of a couple new schools: South Carolina State and Wofford.
Thompson has 1,573 yards rushing on 245 carries and 19 TDs as the Firebirds prepare for their Division I, Region 4 playoff game at Anderson on Saturday night, Nov. 7.
“I knew I could do very well,” Thompson said. “I didn’t know I could do 1,500 yards. Watching (Sycamore’s) Bud Golden do it last year, that was ridiculous. I thought there was no way anybody else could do it. Now I’m sitting in the same shoes as he was last year.”
