There are cases where when a first name fits, it truly fits.
Introducing Tru Thompson. The next big thing. Literally, at 300 pounds and only 14 years old.
And the name, phonetically similar to his game, is true.
Last week, the young athlete from Griffin, Georgia, quickly made believers out of all of those older than him at a three-day Florida State camp. Thompson, a defensive tackle, competed with other defensive linemen and outshone a few offensive linemen in one-on-one drills—so much so that he left the camp with his first scholarship offer.
Never mind the fact that Thompson is a 2019 recruit.
