Former UK commit BJ Thompson signs with Baylor
State title winner makes decision
Thompson was a three-star prospect in the 2017 class
Former UK commit BJ Thompson has signed with Baylor. The 3-star prospect in the 2017 class was a two-way player for England High, helping the team win a basketball state title. Thompson was committed to Kentucky for a time, but he reopened his recruitment in December.
Thompson is a 6'5", 250-pound defensive lineman who can also play tight end. He was recruited by a number of schools, including Alabama, Auburn, and LSU. Thompson is expected to redshirt this season at Baylor.
Thompson's signing is a big get for Baylor. The Bears are coming off a 7-6 season and are looking to make a run at the Big 12 title. Thompson is a talented player who could make an immediate impact for the Bears.
Thompson's signing is also a sign of the growing talent in the state of Louisiana. In recent years, a number of top players from Louisiana have signed with Power 5 schools. Thompson is the latest in a long line of talented players from the Bayou State.
