Former Nebraska and Texas quarterback Casey Thompson, one of the top players in the NCAA transfer portal, told ESPN on Wednesday that he's committed to Florida Atlantic.
The move reunites Thompson with Tom Herman, his first college coach at Texas who is entering his first season as the Owls head coach. Thompson, 24, said that Herman first began recruiting him at age 15 and Thompson later signed with and played for Herman at Texas.
Thompson entered college in 2018 and redshirted that season with the Longhorns, making this year at FAU his sixth and final season of college.
