Thompson, a junior from Memphis, Tenn., helped the Generals to their first win over a ranked opponent since 2010. Thompson spearheaded a Washington and Lee defensive effort that bent but didn't break as the Generals topped 23rd-ranked Centre College, 34-16, on Saturday. Thompson led the unit with 10 tackles, including nine solo stops. The defensive back helped W&L maintain a 21-10 halftime lead when he put the clamps on a fourth down play inside the W&L 25-yard line when he tackled the ball carrier for a one-yard loss with less than a minute to go in the frame. For the season, Thompson is third on the squad with 19 tackles.
