Thompson came to Alabama as a high 4-star recruit who could play both wide receiver and safety. He came in under 170 pounds and had to take a redshirt as he worked on both building muscle mass and picking a position. He bounced back and forth between offense and defense in his first season before settling on safety in year 2.
