Trenton Thompson is a big-time defensive lineman from Albany, Georgia. He is the consensus No.1 overall defensive tackle and regarded by some as the top overall player in the 2015 class. He holds offers from numerous schools including Georgia, Florida State, Auburn, Ohio State, and Florida. It’s already known that he is a Georgia lean, but he is not committed anywhere right now.
