Elijah Thompson Commits to Iowa State
Elijah Thompson, a defensive end from Don Bosco Prep, has committed to Iowa State University. The Class of 2025 standout will join the Cyclones' program as a high school student. Thompson's commitment is a significant addition to Iowa State's defensive line, which is expected to feature a 3-4 scheme. The Don Bosco Prep product will have the opportunity to contribute immediately, as he is projected to fill a starting role. Iowa State's academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business majors, aligns with Thompson's academic interests. Thompson had previously committed to Rutgers but decommitted in May. He will now join a Cyclones program that is rebuilding its defense. Thompson's commitment is a significant coup for Iowa State, which is looking to bolster its defensive line in the 2025 recruiting class.
