Shaq Thompson is one of the most versatile players in the nation and has played on both sides of the ball this year for Washington and could conceivably start at a handful of positions for this Washington team.
With touchdowns on both sides of the ball, Thompson added his third defensive touchdown of the year with this 32-yard return of a fumble from Remound Wright to tie the game in the final two minutes of the first half to give the home team some much-needed momentum for the second half.
Thompson, a junior, very likely will declare for the 2015 NFL Draft after this season and should be a first round pick, possibly in the top 15-20 at linebacker. Can Thompson find the end zone again in this game? They may need it with the way the Washington offense has fared against the No. 1 scoring defense of Stanford.
