Chavez Thompson: 3-star OL, FIU commit
Chavez Thompson is a player FSU was familiar with when Alex Atkins was the offensive line coach. He camped at FSU in 2022 before committing to Oregon in May 2023.
He was also offered by FSU offensive line coach Herb Hand while he was at UCF.
He de-committed from Oregon in April 2024 and committed to FIU on January 2nd, 2025, a couple of weeks after they offered.
Thompson is listed as 6'1" and 310 pounds, and FSU is recruiting him as a center. He is the No. 1,089 player nationally and the No. 73 interior offensive lineman.
One thing I like about Thompson is he also wrestled in high school and was a district champion as a sophomore. That wrestling base would be a tremendous advantage with anchoring and using leverage in the trenches.
Thompson took an official visit to FSU on Friday, January 10th. IF FSU wants him in the class, they could probably get him from FIU.
