Jayden Thompson Commits to TCU
West Fargo Packers running back Jayden Thompson has committed to play for the TCU Horned Frogs, choosing the Big 12 program over other Division I offers. At 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, Thompson is a versatile back who excels in both the running and passing game. TCU's offense, which features a mix of zone and power blocking schemes, is a good fit for Thompson's skillset. The Horned Frogs' depth chart at running back is open, with several key players departing after the 2026 season. Thompson also cited TCU's strong academic program as a major factor in his decision. He previously held offers from several other Power Five schools, including Oklahoma State and Kansas State. A standout performer at the 2026 North Dakota Football Camp, Thompson is expected to make an immediate impact in Fort Worth.
