3. Jalen Thompson, DE
True sophomore Jalen Thompson is another exciting young player.
In 2023 he played in eight games, recording 19 total tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Despite a fairly limited sample size, he flashed plenty of upside. The upside is clearly there. Considering his promising rookie campaign, it's fair to be pretty optimistic about the former four-star recruit's future.
With another year of experience under his belt and a bigger opportunity on the horizon, Thompson seems ready to make a major impact.
