Thompson “I’m a Florida boy” talks visits and Gators

Florida Gators running back commit Mark Thompson (6-2, 230, Dodge City, KS JUCO) is glad that it’s football season because that means he’s that much closer to reaching his goal of becoming a Florida Gators football player in January.

Thompson committed to Florida last spring and he still talks to the Gators a ton; mainly speaking to running backs coach Tim Skipper, who continues to recruit Thompson hard.

“I talk to Florida a good bit, I was actually on the phone with Coach Skip last night [Monday night],” Thompson said. “He just tells me the same stuff that me and Lamical [Perine] are the only backs they are recruiting and that they aren’t after anymore backs this year.
