DeShawn Thompson Commits to Baylor
DeShawn Thompson, a Class of 2025 safety from the IMG Academy Ascenders, has committed to Baylor University. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound prospect chose the Bears over offers from the University of Florida and the University of Georgia, citing Baylor's defensive scheme as a key factor in his decision. Thompson believes the Bears' 3-4 defense will allow him to utilize his skills as a versatile safety, and he's excited about the opportunity to contribute immediately. With the departure of several safeties from last year's team, Thompson sees a clear path to playing time on the depth chart. Additionally, Baylor's academic program and strong reputation for producing well-rounded students were attractive to Thompson, who maintains a 3.5 GPA. This commitment marks a significant addition to Baylor's 2025 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the top in the Big 12.
