POSITION: RB / WR – No. 24 Athlete

# OFFERS: 12
NEWS & NOTES: Thompkins Jr. was offered back in March and then visited UGA for G-Day on 04/22/2017. He committed to the Seminoles on May 9th but then just recently de-committed from the Seminoles on September 24th after taking back-to-back visits to Georgia on September 16th and the 23rd. So, is UGA in play here?
It is an interesting development as the Bulldogs have the No. 1 and No. 3 running backs in Zamir White and James Cook committed for 2018. With Thompkins being a 2019 prospect, they very well could take a player like Thompkins as he has the potential to play at either RB or WR, and as we have seen, the Dogs have done a good job of spreading carries around to their tailbacks. He was back in Athens over the weekend for Georgia’s final home game of the season versus Kentucky.
