Trevon Thompson: Crusader on the Rise
Trevon Thompson's 4.32 40-yard dash at the IHSA's 2025 Football Combine left scouts in awe. The Brother Rice Crusaders' Class of 2027 running back is the first player from the 8A program to earn a Power 4 offer, joining the likes of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. Thompson's impressive speed and agility on the field have caught the attention of college coaches nationwide. With a strong summer camp performance under his belt, Thompson is expected to be a key contributor to the Crusaders' backfield this season. He showcases exceptional vision, elusiveness and power, making him a nightmare for defenders to tackle. As Brother Rice looks to make a deep run in the 8A playoffs, Thompson's development will be crucial to their success. Scouts are watching for Thompson to continue to improve his pass-catching skills and expand his role in the Crusaders' offense, potentially taking on more of a workhorse role as the season progresses.
