Buford OL Caleb Thompson Makes Immediate Impact
Buford Wolves lineman Caleb Thompson has wasted no time making a name for himself in Class 6A, earning a starting role just months after transferring from out-of-state. The Class of 2026 standout has already shown impressive footwork, logging 14 reps of 30 yards or more in the 40-yard shuttle drill at the team's summer camp. Thompson's athleticism and technique have drawn comparisons to some of the top linemen in the state. As a transfer student, Thompson had to navigate a new playbook and learn the nuances of the GHSA, but he's quickly become a key cog in the Wolves' offense. Scouts are now watching to see how Thompson adapts to the physicality of in-game competition and whether he can maintain his impressive pace throughout the season. With his size, speed, and agility, Thompson is poised to make a significant impact in 6A this fall.
