UGA football offers elite in-state DL

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to elite class of 2024 defensive line recruit Champ Thompson. The Bulldogs join Alabama, Kentucky, Auburn, Louisville, Michigan, and more as college football programs that have offered Thompson a scholarship.

Champ Thompson is unranked at the moment, but Georgia and Alabama don’t sign unranked prospects, so that is bound to change. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive line recruit plays high school football for Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, Georgia.

Thompson has good speed for a defensive line prospect and was named 7A All-Region last season. Thompson does a good job of shedding blocks and is a stout run defender. He holds up well at the point of attack and primarily plays defensive tackle.

Champ Thompson announced his scholarship offer from UGA football via his Twitter account:

Thompson has recently visited Florida State. It will be interesting to visit the in-state Georgia Bulldogs.

Here are some of the Meadowcreek star’s highlights from the 2021 high school football season:
