📍 Katy Tigers·Tuesday, July 14, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Katy, TX - The Katy Tigers football program has promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator, program officials announced Thursday. Thompson, a four-year veteran of the staff, has been instrumental in developing the Tigers' defensive unit, which has consistently ranked among the top in District 14-6A. The move is seen as a key step in the Tigers' bid to reclaim the district title, which they last won in 2022. With a strong recruiting class on board, Thompson's promotion is expected to boost the team's chances in a highly competitive 6A Division I landscape. The Tigers will kick off their pre-season camp next week, with a focus on fine-tuning their defense and capitalizing on the team's returning talent.
