Much better shot at the pros from the FBS level.

I get that. He must have something lined up if he’s entering this late. I would think his injury record would be a red flag to pro teams

Sac picked for #4 in the FCS by Hero’s basically due to Thompson. I guess thats gone now. The guy is just amazing. If he has to wait another year does that mean he’s been a college QB for 7 years? One point: why didn’t the Hawk get him?\

Follow: sometimes there are good Hawks and bad Hawks. Some feed their chicks and some that don' . I am very glad we have one of the former species here with us now. But I am truly sad for Troy Taylor who is by all accounts a good guy to have this happen to his team. We had it with a RB Recently and we will have it in the future. Crazy times indeed.

it does seem like he’s betting on no 2020 season and coming back in 2021. Unless he has a FBS school lined up already. Timing is so strange.

That's a big loss of Sac. With Sac and Davis losing starting QBs and Poly with a whole new system it seems all the California teams are up in the air.

Senior year transfers, rarely works out but can't say I'm not happy as an Aggie fan...and breaking in a new QB. Should be wide open in California FCS, San Diego could sneak ahead for a year.

A couple of threads on the Slack State site:

On Taylor and Thomson rumors:

Wow. A lot of rumor, speculation and down right fear at sac over this thing. However this works out, sac will feel the impact as a team. Even if KT stays it will never be the same team. The speculation over TT also leaving is at borderline hysteria levels at sac. If TT gets an offer he will leave sac. That is a fact contract or no contract.

Never impressed me with his arm, it was always his running

Thomson commits to University of Washington and is likely a 1 year starter. The other QBs on the Huskies roster are freshmen and sophomores.

Good luck to him. I have a hard time seeing him get through a pac 12 season healthy

How can Thompson transfer w/o sitting a year when our new MBB transfer from San Jose st. Has to sit out? Totally confused about the new ransfer rules!

He is a Grad Transfer.

Thomson is a grad transfer. Because he graduated he is free to play wherever he wants. Our new MBB transfer is a junior transfer. He would need an NCAA waiver to be able to play right away.

Also he is about to turn 25... 7 years removed from high school. I don’t know how he got so many years of eligibility.

redshirt, medical redshirt, sat a year, and 4 seasons. I guess you don’t lose any eligibility when you move down.

IF the season were postponed, would he come back for year 8?

Ridiculous. Per NCAA stats- most “grad transfers” never finish their “graduate degree” and quit after their season ends. Pathetic NCAA on these rules. Really. Is Thompson actually going for s degree or just messing with the rules?

I don't want to speak for Thomson, because perhaps he is qualified and intends to complete a grad degree. But to illustrate your point 69, I had a football grad transfer in some masters classes when I was in school. The dude had crickets for brains and it was an open secret that the dean had directed the professors to give him B- grades. It was unfortunate that he took a seat from a bona fide applicant and it was insulting that the university thought my program was "easy enough" to hide a meat head in. And he did in fact disappear after the requisite bowl game.

I have my strong doubts that if Chris Peterson were still at Washington this would not be happening. Rather ironic that an Aggie might have kept Thompson at sac.

UW scheduled to play Sac St this year. O_O
