Bryce Thompson: The Unlikely Starter
Mililani Trojans safety Bryce Thompson's impressive debut season was marked by a league-leading 10 interceptions, including a 90-yard pick-six in the state playoffs. The 2025 standout transferred from out-of-state Texas, where he played in HHSAA 5A, and quickly earned a starting role in the HHSAA's Oahu Interscholastic Association. Thompson's ability to read the quarterback and anticipate throws has drawn praise from coaches and scouts. At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, he possesses the size and athleticism to excel in the secondary. This offseason, Thompson has been working on his ball skills and footwork, fine-tuning his technique and increasing his speed and agility. As a result, he's become a key component of the Trojans' defense. Scouts are watching to see how Thompson adapts to the increased competition and how he develops as a leader on the field.
