Elijah Thompson Commits to University of Houston
Cheverus Stags kicker Elijah Thompson, a Class of 2026 standout, has committed to the University of Houston. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound specialist joins the Cougars after a successful summer camp, where he impressed coaches with his accuracy and leg strength. Thompson's commitment to Houston is a strategic fit, as he will be able to contribute immediately to the team's kicking game. The Cougars' high-powered offense, which averaged 37.5 points per game last season, will provide Thompson with ample opportunities to showcase his skills. Academically, Thompson is drawn to the University of Houston's strong business program, which aligns with his future career goals. After initially committing to another program, Thompson reopened his recruitment and explored other options before deciding on Houston. He is expected to sign with the Cougars in the coming weeks.
