West QB going to Southern Conference schoolBy Brian Meadows Jared Thompson’s football career is expected to continue at Elon. His father, West Iredell assistant football coach Robert Thompson said the senior has been awarded a Teaching Fellows Scholarship, which he will apply at Elon University. “He’s going to play football,” Robert said. “We’ve been talking to them all spring. … He was there for an official visit in February.” A 6-foot-4, 194-pound signal caller, Jared completed 127 of 231 passes for 1,583 yards with 14 touchdowns and three interceptions as a senior. In previous seasons with the Warriors, he played defense. Jared may not end up playing quarterback for the Phoenix, his father said, noting the potential of moving to a tight end. With Southern Conference wins over Wofford and Georgia Southern, Elon finished 7-4 last sea-son and ranked in the top 25 in the Football Championship Subdivision. “The program is on the rise,” Robert said. “They’re starting to play a great brand of football. (Jared) is looking forward to it.” Bookmarkz |
