Devon Thompson Commits to Texas Tech
Bingham Miners safety Devon Thompson has committed to play for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The 6A Class of 2026 prospect chose the Big 12 program over other Division I offers. Thompson's decision was influenced by the Red Raiders' defensive scheme, which aligns with his skills as a ball-hawking safety. He also cited the opportunity to contribute immediately, as the team's depth chart appears to be wide open at the position. Additionally, Thompson was drawn to Texas Tech's strong academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business majors that align with his interests. Thompson previously held offers from several other Power Five schools, including Utah and Colorado State, before committing to the Red Raiders. He is expected to enroll at Texas Tech in the fall of 2026 and participate in the team's summer camp program.
