As a College Recruit

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.

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.

Perry Thompson makes big debut in On3 rankings

Alabama wide receiver commit Perry Thompson (No. 58) is one of the bigger, more physically-gifted pass catchers. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder has plus length with arms that measure over 33-inches and straight line speed (11.1 second 100 meter time). The Foley (Ala.) High standout is a tough two-way player at the high school level but projects as a big, physical wide receiver with the athleticism to pick up yards after the catch.
