Dillon (South Carolina) High School coach Kelvin Roller believes Josiah Thompson – who has earned MaxPreps All-American honors – has a bright future ahead. “We had a lot of Division I caliber players get recruited by schools in the Southeast, but I am not sure Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Oklahoma have been to Dillon over the years,” Kelvin Roller told The State. “I think he has the opportunity to be paid to play ball one day. He is such a good kid and is very coachable, wants to be good, loves football. Anything we give him to work on, he does it. His length and his ability to move his feet are special. You won’t find too many left tackle prospects that could move as he can move, so he is special in that regard.” Thompson also plays on the Dillon basketball squad.

Elite / Top 100

Physically-gifted offensive tackle prospect with plus length and reactive movement skills. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 275 pounds prior to his junior season. Has plus length and a big frame to continue adding weight. A twitchy mover for the position. Flexible athlete who plays low and with good pad level. Gets underneath the pads of opposing defensive linemen. Generates a push as a run blocker. Has some of the better reactive quickness among offensive tackles in the 2024 cycle. Will need to develop his pass set technique, but has the natural tools to be a top pass protector, likely as a left tackle. Has a developmental frame, but may need time in the weight room to add strength and mass. A high-upside prospect who projects as one of the top offensive tackles in the cycle pending further development.
