Newcomer DeShawn Thompson Kicks Off Career with St. Marys Blue Devils
St. Marys Blue Devils kicker DeShawn Thompson made an immediate impact in his first season with the team, connecting on 22 of 25 extra-point attempts and 5 of 7 field goals. The Class of 2027 transfer from out-of-state brought a level of precision to the Blue Devils' special teams unit, helping the team secure crucial victories in the Mountain East Conference. Thompson's accuracy and leg strength have earned him a starting role, and he's expected to be a key contributor to the Blue Devils' success this season. With the WVSSAC's Mountain East Conference being a highly competitive division, Thompson's performance will be closely monitored. As the Blue Devils prepare for the upcoming season, scouts will be watching to see if Thompson can maintain his accuracy and add more distance to his kicks, potentially making him a top prospect in the Class of 2027. His ability to perform under pressure and adapt to the WVSSAC's rules and regulations will also be key factors in his development.
