AUSTIN, Texas – Texas senior defensive back Josh Thompson will forego his additional year of eligibility and enter the 2022 NFL Draft, he announced Saturday.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him leading me in each step throughout my life, I would not have been where I am today. Secondly, my wonderful parents who sacrificed everything they had to make sure I followed my dreams of becoming a Texas Longhorn. And lastly, every coach I've had who played a positive impact in my life and gave me the tools I needed to achieve my dream and become the best teammate and person I could possibly be.
