Covington Catholic Kicker Austin Thompson Weighs Transfer Portal Options
Covington Catholic Colonels senior kicker Austin Thompson is reportedly considering a transfer to the transfer portal due to a playing time dispute, sources close to the situation confirm. As a senior kicker, Thompson is a highly sought-after commodity in the transfer portal, particularly in a state like Kentucky where field goal kickers are scarce. Losing Thompson would be a significant blow to the Colonels' special teams unit, which has been a strength for the program in recent years. Currently, several programs from neighboring states, including Ohio and Tennessee, are reportedly recruiting Thompson, with some sources indicating that he may have already received scholarship offers from at least two schools in the region. The Colonels' coaching staff is working to retain Thompson, but his decision is still up in the air.
