TEMPE, Ariz. – Former University of Utah wide receiver Bryan Thompson has signed an athletics Grant-In-Aid letter to study and play football at Arizona State University, head coach Herm Edwards announced on Friday.
While at Utah, Thompson earned a reputation for his big-play ability, averaging 22.9 yards on 33 career receptions.
A starter in 12 of 33 career games, Thompson's best season came in 2019 when he started nine of 12 contests and finished second on the team in receiving yards (461) on 18 catches with three touchdowns. He posted a pair of 100-yard receiving games that season, accumulating 111 yards vs. Washington State and 105 yards vs. Idaho State.
