The redshirt senior will have one year of eligibility remaining thanks to the NCAA's extra year granted because of the pandemic.
Thompson, a Plymouth native who played at Robbinsdale Armstrong and Iowa Western Community College before coming to the Gophers in 2018, was a preferred walk-on for the team. He had yet to play for the Gophers in his three seasons amid a deep receivers group that included Tyler Johnson, Rashod Bateman and Chris Autman-Bell.
Though two of those three have now departed the Gophers, the team did sign Texas A&M transfer Dylan Wright and have several returning players who saw the field in 2020, including freshman Daniel Jackson, sophomore Mike Brown-Stephens and redshirt senior Clay Geary.
Thompson is the son of former Gophers and NFL running back Darrell Thompson, currently the radio analyst for the team.
Eric Jagers worked for the Fire Department for 24 years until his retirement in February 2023.
