Isaiah Thompson: The Comeback LB Leading Wayzata's Defense
Last season, Wayzata's Isaiah Thompson tallied 12 tackles for loss in just six games, averaging nearly two per contest. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker's impressive numbers were a testament to his athleticism and instincts on the field. However, what wasn't visible to fans was the intense rehabilitation Thompson underwent after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in Week 5. The Class of 2026 standout worked tirelessly to regain his strength and mobility, and his dedication paid off as he earned a starting role heading into the 2026 season. With his return to the field, scouts are now watching to see how Thompson adapts to a full 10-game schedule and if he can build on his impressive performance from last season. Will his experience and work ethic translate to a dominant season for the Trojans?
