Detroit King's Jordan Thompson: Punting for History
Detroit King Crusaders kicker Jordan Thompson has set a new standard for his program, becoming the first player from the school to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2027 standout has been making waves with his impressive punting skills, averaging 43.2 yards per boot in a recent summer camp session. Thompson's ability to flip field position has drawn attention from college scouts, who see potential for him to be a game-changer in the Division 2 playoffs. As a freshman, Thompson averaged 38.5 yards per punt, and his numbers have only improved since. He has been working on his technique, fine-tuning his follow-through and release. Scouts are watching to see how Thompson adapts to game situations and whether he can maintain his accuracy under pressure. With the Power 4 offer, Thompson has set a new benchmark for his program, and expectations are high for the Crusaders' 2026 season.
