The Situation: After waiting behind Tate Martell at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, of the most successful quarterbacks in high school history, Thompson-Robinson has now stepped into the spotlight. Despite never starting a high school game, he has some the nation’s top programs vying to land his commitment. Recently he announced he was cutting his list in advance of a summer commitment. But he also hinted that he may be offering a silent commitment to a program very soon. So where will he end up? We asked our team experts to state the case for their respective programs and let National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell issue a verdict.
OREGON
“Thompson-Robinson has the perfect blend of size, arm strength, accuracy, speed and athleticism to be a great quarterback in Willie Taggart's Oregon offense. We know Thompson-Robinson considered the Ducks one of his early favorites before Colson Yankoff committed (then decommitted), so this would be a tremendous opportunity for the talented signal caller. The Oregon offense will be tailor made for him to come in and compete for the starting position as a true freshman.” – Scott Reed, DucksSportsAuthority.com
