Isaiah Thompson Commits to SMU for 2027 Class
Lake Oswego, OR - Isaiah Thompson, a 6A offensive lineman in the class of 2027, has committed to Southern Methodist University for the 2027-28 academic year. Thompson, a standout on the Lake Oswego Lakers, cited SMU's pro-style offense as a key factor in his decision. He believes the Mustangs' scheme will allow him to utilize his skills and athleticism to contribute immediately. With the departure of several starters from last season, Thompson sees an opportunity to compete for a starting position on the depth chart. Additionally, SMU's strong academic program and reputation for producing well-rounded graduates were major draws for Thompson. He had previously committed to another program but decided to re-open his recruitment after re-evaluating his options. Thompson's commitment to SMU is a significant addition to the Mustangs' 2027 recruiting class, and he is expected to play a key role in the team's success in the coming years.
