Elk River Elks' Jordan Thompson Weighs Transfer Options Amid Coaching Change
Junior running back Jordan Thompson is reportedly considering a transfer from Elk River High School due to a coaching change in the Elks' program. With only a handful of experienced running backs in the state, Thompson's departure would be a significant loss for the 6A team. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound back was a key contributor to the Elks' offense last season, rushing for over 1,000 yards. Thompson's recruitment is gaining traction, with several colleges from neighboring states, including Iowa and South Dakota, reportedly showing interest. Minnesota programs, such as the University of Minnesota and Minnesota State University, Mankato, are also believed to be in the mix. The Elks' coaching staff is working to retain Thompson, but his decision remains uncertain at this time.
