Pierre Governors' OC Reportedly Fielding FBS Offers Amidst Program's Resurgence
Pierre Governors' offensive coordinator, Ryan Thompson, is reportedly fielding offers from multiple FBS programs following the team's 8-3 record in 2024 and a 12-1 mark in 2025, which included a state semifinal appearance. Thompson, who has been with the Governors since 2022, has been instrumental in the team's resurgence, helping to develop quarterback, Ethan Johnson, into a top recruit in the state. If Thompson were to depart, it would be a significant loss for the program, which has become a top destination for South Dakota talent. The Governors' recruiting class, currently ranked 5th in the state, would likely take a hit if Thompson were to leave, making this a developing storyline to watch in Pierre as the 2026 season approaches.
