n a surprising turn of events, four-star dual-threat quarterback Josiah Thompson has decommitted from Texas A&M, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world. Thompson, who had been a highly touted commitment to the Aggies since early this year, has now pledged his future to the South Carolina Gamecocks, choosing them over other strong contenders, including LSU and Kentucky.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound quarterback from South Carolina had initially committed to Texas A&M, drawn by the opportunity to play in the SEC under head coach Jimbo Fisher. However, after taking several visits and re-evaluating his options, Thompson ultimately decided that South Carolina offered the best fit for his playing style and long-term aspirations.
Thompson’s decision is a major victory for the Gamecocks, who have been building momentum on the recruiting trail under head coach Shane Beamer. His ability to make plays with both his arm and legs makes him an ideal fit for South Carolina’s up-tempo offense, which has seen improvement in recent seasons.
The Gamecocks beat out fierce competition from LSU, who had made a strong push for Thompson, and Kentucky, which had also emerged as a serious contender. Thompson’s commitment is a significant boost for South Carolina’s 2025 recruiting class, with hopes high that his decision could help attract more top-tier talent to Columbia.
