2017 4 Star QB Keytaon Thompson Commits

[DirtyDog]

It's a long way to go, but fits the mold at 6-4" 210 lbs and rated as the #8 Dual Threat QB and Louisiana's #10 Prospect. Excellent prospect who's main reason for coming is our offensive scheme and working with Mullen and Johnson.

You know, stars are funny. If this guy had (or gets) his 5th star we'd be freaking out. Won't make him a better prospect but would make folks much more excited.

He doesn't look sharp throwing the ball, but he looks like a WR playing QB. He's got some nice moves with the ball in his hands.

Definitely needs some polish to his passing game, some awkward drops and throwing mechanics, but I believe we have the coaches to develop that as they did with Dak. I'm excited about having him commit early to help recruit others. Not sure of his leadership skills but it seems like recruiting goes a lot better when you have vocal leaders commit early and recruit others.

Early enrollee too.

 

[aTotal360]

That's huge. It speaks volumes when a kid that has the drive to do that.

 

[Dawg1976]

That is huge. A big jump start on getting him polished for the future.

 

[Bulldogg31]

All indications are that 2017 could be our best recruiting class ever, topping even last year's class.

Also, looking at our schedule, we could very well start next season 6-1 or 7-0. Might put some smiles back on Bulldog faces.

Yep. Especially at the QB position. Dak was an early enrollee. So was Fitzgerald. By the time these guys hit the field as redshirt freshmen, they've got a good year and a half in the program.

One of top 10 players in Louisiana for 2017 .. currently #8 dual threat QB in the nation .. chose MSU over offers from Arizona State, Florida, LSU, Miami and Tennessee


From his videos .. he easily spots the guys that are going to be open .. he throws a ball that's easy for the receivers to run under .. he can throw in "on a rope' when needed.

He still has a full year to develop next year in high school .. will enroll early and have two springs + two falls BEFORE his RS FR season. Plenty of time to 'develop.'

Exact same throwing motion that Nick Fitzgerald had coming out of HS. Mullen will get that elbow up higher. The kid even looks like Cam Newton. Mullen knows what kind of QB he wants.
