Jordan Thompson: Central Catholic's Punting Pioneer
Central Catholic Rams kicker Jordan Thompson has set a new standard for his program, becoming the first player from the 6A school to earn a Power 4 offer. The Class of 2026 specialist averaged 42.5 yards per punt in 2025, with a long of 55 yards. Thompson's impressive performance caught the attention of college scouts, who are now closely watching his development. In the off-season, Thompson has been participating in specialized kicking camps, including the OSAA-sanctioned event at the University of Oregon, where he has honed his technique and increased his leg strength. With a strong summer of training behind him, Thompson is poised to take his game to the next level. Scouts are watching for Thompson's ability to consistently place kicks inside the opponent's 20-yard line, a crucial aspect of his overall value as a punter. With his Power 4 offer, Thompson is now on the radar of top college programs, and his future looks bright.
