Well that didn’t take long.
Less than a week after Oklahoma State offered him a scholarship, 2020 linebacker Cole Thompson announced his commitment to play for the Cowboys.
Thompson, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound inside linebacker from Norman, chose the Cowboys over offers from Troy, Army, and Eastern Michigan. He also had interest from Texas Tech and Navy.
Don’t let the offer list fool you into thinking he’s not a solid prospect. Thompson had to sit out his sophomore season after transferring from Putnam City West which has slowed his recruitment down.
Last season as a junior, Thompson recorded 120 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and three sacks.
