Cavaliers' Thompson Returns to Form After ACL Injury
Serra Cavaliers cornerback Cameron Thompson has made a remarkable recovery from a torn ACL suffered in his sophomore season. In his first year back on the field, Thompson has earned a starting role and has been a key contributor to the Cavaliers' 4-0 start in Class 5A Division II. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Thompson has recorded 22 tackles, 10 pass breakups and two interceptions, including a 45-yard pick-six against rival Mira Costa. His speed and agility have allowed him to stay one step ahead of opponents, and his ball-hawking skills have been a game-changer for the Cavaliers. Thompson's impressive performance has caught the attention of college scouts, who are watching to see if he can maintain his level of play throughout the season. Scouts are looking for Thompson to continue to show his ability to read the quarterback and make plays on the ball, as well as his speed and agility in coverage.
