Reminds Us Of

Perry Thompson's combination of prototypical size, length, athleticism and catch radius with the ability to line up at multiple spots reminds us of Terrace Marshall.
Team Predictions
Scouting Report
Big-framed pass catcher with some of the best physical tools among receiver prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds prior to his junior season. Has high-end length for the position with a 33.5-inch arm. Runs well at his size, showing the separation skills to get vertical and beat double coverage. Tracks the ball well with the ability to locate the ball over his shoulder for high difficulty grabs. Makes plays from the outside and in the slot. Flashes good change of direction as a route-runner on Friday nights and in the 7-on-7 setting. Makes plays after the catch and as a return man. Shows competitiveness and toughness as a two-way player. Productive in a high volume role as a junior, catching 87 passes for 1,059 yards and nine touchdowns. Does not benefit from a loaded supporting cast. On the lower end of yards per catch among his highly-touted peers with 12.2 yards per reception as a junior. Has turned in some encouraging personal best track times over high school career but can continue to consistently transfer that over to the field with his play speed and the track as the times tend to vary. Still putting his tools together but has the upside to be one of the better receivers in a strong crop at the position in the 2024 cycle.

Personal Life
Perry Thompson made an immediate impact on the high school level for Foley (Alabama) High School. Thompson started for Foley as a freshman and then flourished during his sophomore year. He caught 53 passes for 661 yards and five touchdowns for the Lions and finished with 814 all-purpose yards. He also had a pair of interceptions. “He really started to show the skills we were thinking he had,” Foley coach Deric Scott told AL.com. “He developed during the offseason between his junior and sophomore years and has put a lot of work in during the offseason. He was able to go to some camps this summer and show what he could do. He also had a tremendous track and field season, so that no doubt helped.” It sure did. As a junior, Thompson finished with 1,059 yards receiving, nine touchdowns and averaged 12.2 yards a catch. “He obviously has tremendous athletic skills and wide receiver skills,” Scott said. “He’s a tremendous talent and a hard worker. He’s put in a lot of work to be good, and he has more to go. We think he is just brushing the ceiling. His upside is tremendous.”
