East Texas has been very good to Gary Patterson and TCU through the years, and the class of 2017 appears to be no exception.
Josh Thompson, a Rivals 3* recruit out of Nacogdoches, TX gave his verbal commit to TCU Sunday evening, becoming the third East Texas player to join #CarterBoys17. At 5'11.5" with 4.48 speed, the rising senior has excellent straight-line speed to go with true fluidity in his lateral movements and the ability to deliver the big hit.
The third East Texas player to commit within a couple day span - all of whom likely project to the defensive side of the ball at the next level - as Gary Patterson and TCU continue their trend of finding great players at and near the Louisiana border.
