: Peyton Thompson
: ATH
: 6-0 / 165
: Granite Bay HS / Granite Bay, CA
: ESPN Evaluation:
: “Thompson is a slashing runner on offense
: and a perimeter attacking defender on
: defense. He possesses adequate height with a
: slightly-built frame that will need to fill
: out to contribute on either side of the ball
: at the next level. On offense, he is a
: slashing runner who likes to bounce it
: outside with his adequate lateral quickness
: and cut it back with good vision and a
: decent straight-line burst. Shows adequate
: fluidity eluding defenders to daylight and
: possesses competitive straight-line speed.
: Hands out of the backfield are his best
: asset. Plucks the ball smoothly in stride
: and shows good arm extension adjusting to
: the difficult throw. At defensive back, he
: is at his best attacking on the perimeter
: and making plays underneath him. Our main
: concern at this time is his lack of range in
: zone coverage and recovery speed and hips in
: man. As a runner, he offers little
: production after contact and we have
: concerns that he lack the lateral quickness
: to bounce it outside at the next level with
: faster pursuing defenders. Lack of top-end
: speed and an extra gear will make it tough
: to transition to the next level as an
: offensive skill player. Needs to continue
: bulking up his frame and become more
: physical if positioned as a rover or strong
: safety.”
