Just days ago, it seemed inevitable that Michigan football would be getting its first 2022 commitment in quite some time, with St. Louis (MO) University four-star safety Isaac Thompson set to make his decision on Dec. 4.

But that changed in a hurry.

Though he had a 100% 247Sports Crystal Ball indicating that he would end up in Ann Arbor, starting on Thursday, a flurry of picks came in either submitting doubt that Thompson would become a Wolverine, or that he would pick hometown Mizzou. According to Rivals’ EJ Holland, the maize and blue made something of a full court press on the No. 133 player in the country. However, on Friday, the worst fears were realized, with the nation’s No. 10 safety opting to stay home and play for the Missouri Tigers.

The 2022 class remains at three-strong, with the two latest commits coming in the month of September. With Thompson off the board, Michigan will likely target Chesapeake (VA) Oscar Smith three-star Sherrod Covil or Naples (FL) three-star Devin Moore — who hails from the same school as current Michigan defensive back Sammy Faustin.

Sherrone Moore was Thompson’s primary recruiter for the maize and blue.

USC Football: Trojans make top-10 for 4-star CB Isaac Thompson

The USC Trojans will have plenty of competition for the services of 2022 four-star corner Isaac Thompson after he released his top-10.

The USC Trojans and defensive back coach Donte Williams have been heavily recruiting players for their secondary, and they have now turned their attention to the class of 2022.

Isaac Thompson, a four-star prospect out of St. Louis, announced his top-10 on Tuesday morning, and your Trojans made the list.

Thompson’s listed included USC as well as Georgetown, LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Florida, Missouri, Michigan, Texas and Penn State.

The Trojans made an offer to Thompson back in January. He is considered the No. 150 prospect in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings, which places him No. 3 in the state of Missouri and No. 18 among cornerbacks.

USC has a ton of great talent joining the team in the secondary in 2021, including Anthony Beavers, Calen Bullock, Xamarion Gordon, Jaylin Smith and, most recently, Prophet Brown.

However, Thompson is an outstanding prospect to have an early eye on, and he could end up being a star in a few years, especially if he comes up behind such an elite class.
