Honors: 2016- All-American Athletic Conference Honorable Mention ... John Mackey Award Watch List (top tight end) ...

College: Spent two seasons at Florida, did not see any game action in 2012 due to an injury and redshirted ... played in the first three games of 2013, seeing action at tight end and on special teams …missed the last nine games due to injury ... High School: Played tight end for coach Steve Devlin at Archbishop Wood in Philadelphia ... consensus four-star recruit … ESPN.com first team All-American ... rated as the #2 tight end in the nation by ESPN.com and Scout.com … ranked #117 in the ESPN 150 and #106 overall by Scout.com …The #5 prospect in Pennsylvania according to Rivals.com … named honorable mention All-American by Sports Illustrated … participant in the 2012 Under Armour All-American Game (1-17 receiving, 1 tackle) … selected to the Pennsylvania Sportswriters Class AAA All-State Team … helped Archbishop Wood to a 14-1 record in his senior season … high school finished #19 in the final Powerade Fab 50 rankings and #21 in the final USA Today Super 25 rankings … Archbishop Wood won the school’s first-ever title, winning the PIAA Class 3A State Championship Game, 52-0 … had 13 catches for 208 yards and four touchdowns as a senior … chose Florida over many schools, including Alabama, Boston College, Penn State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee and Wisconsin ... Personal: Born Colin Thompson in Doylestown, PA … parents are Karen and Dave Thompson … has a brother Kerry … volunteered with Athletes Helping Athletes and the Salvation Army … favorite NFL player is Jason Witten … earned degree in communication studies. Colin Thompson is really smart, so he can be versatile and you can move him around. He is a really good blocker, he blocks the point of attack, and he has good hands. He can get open, he has tremendous body control, so he is a true hybrid tight end. He’s not just a pass catcher, and he’s not just a run blocker, he can sort of do it all. You take that and combine it with some real toughness, like he’s playing on an ankle sprain most guys wouldn’t play on, and he wasn’t limping around out there. He made big blocks on those touchdowns, on those speed sweeps, he blocked the guy one on one. The guy has leverage. He probably played f his finest football game since he’s been here and he played it while having an ankle sprain that some guy may have said coach I can’t do it, but he just went out there and played.” -- former head coach Matt Rhule 9/20/16
