2024 4-star OT Josiah Thompson names top six schools

Dillon (S.C.) four-star offensive tackle Josiah Thompson has cut down his list of top schools to six, he announced on Tuesday afternoon. The list includes are Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Thompson is the No. 74 overall prospect and No. 5 offensive tackle in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 2 player in South Carolina.

In December, Thompson named his top 10 schools, but has now eliminated four more from the list.

“What is important to me is relationships,” Thompson told On3’s Chad Simmons on Sept. 14. “I want to connect with the coaches and the players. Where I go, I don’t want to feel like I am with strangers. I want to bond with everyone. I feel that will make me comfortable and make me the best I can be.”

Josiah Thompson has an On3 NIL Valuation of $71K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
