Tyler Thompson Commits to Kansas State
Tyler Thompson, a Class of 2027 quarterback from South Pointe High School, has committed to play for Kansas State University. The 4A standout joins the Wildcats' program after a summer of intense recruitment. Thompson's decision is a result of the school's fit with his athletic style, as Kansas State's offense aligns with his strengths in a spread scheme. The quarterback also sees an opportunity to compete for playing time, as the Wildcats' depth chart at his position is currently open. Additionally, Thompson is drawn to Kansas State's academic program, which is recognized for its strong engineering and business schools. This commitment marks a significant addition to the Wildcats' 2027 recruiting class, as Thompson is considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the state of South Carolina. He had previously committed to Clemson but reopened his recruitment in May.
