WR Chris Thompson Commits to Florida


Chris Thompson isn't going to travel very far to play football on the next level.  The Gainesville WR got his dream offer from Florida and committed quickly after on Monday.  The 3-star WR (according to 247Sports) had an impressive showing at Friday Night Lights this past Friday.  Thompson didn't have many great offers before Florida came knocking.  FAU, Marshall, UMASS, and Utah were his top offers.  This is a dream come true for Thompson, who's biggest asset is his speed.  The Gators continue to roll in recruiting, picking up their fifth commitment in five days.

Here is a quick scouting report from Scout:
Thompson has very good speed. He can get behind a secondary or make defenders miss with his quickness. He can go up and get the ball and has very good leaping ability and body control. Perhaps his strongest attribute is his ability to separate from defenders, especially coming out of his breaks. This is a big play receiver who's likely destined to play in the slot because he lacks ideal size to play on the outside.
