Marcus Thompson Commits to UTSA
Pomona Panthers linebacker Marcus Thompson has committed to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) for the Class of 2026. The 5A standout selected the Roadrunners after considering multiple Division I offers. Thompson's commitment is a significant addition to UTSA's linebacker corps, as he is expected to fit seamlessly into the team's 3-4 defensive scheme. With the departure of several key defenders, Thompson will have an opportunity to contribute immediately as a true freshman. UTSA's strong academic program and research opportunities were also a major factor in Thompson's decision. The Panthers' senior linebacker had previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in March, allowing him to explore other options before selecting UTSA. Thompson's commitment is a significant coup for the Roadrunners, who are looking to build on their recent success in Conference USA.
