Former Thompson receiver Ryan Peppins committed to Grambling State over the weekend. alpreps
He said first-year Grambling coach and longtime NFL coach Hue Jackson was a key reason for his commitment.
“Coach Jackson is making a big start in the HBCU,” he said. “This world is starting to change. It’s time to make that change. I liked the offense and the character of the coaches who showed me love. I chose Grambling because it felt like home to me.”As a senior, he caught 80 passes for 1,379 yards and 23 touchdowns during the Warriors’ 13-1 season that culminated in a championship win against Central-Phenix City. He was the MVP of that game.
In addition to being Thompson’s first Mr. Football winner and the 40th Mr. Football overall, he also was named Class 7A Back of the Year.“I think everything this day and age is about fits,” Thompson head coach Mark Freeman said. “I think Ryan thinks he fits well in that offense. He’s a really good football player. A lot of people missed the boat on him.
“I think he can be outstanding at that level. I think it will open doors down the road for him. Ryan has to get on the field at that level and play. Once he does that, the rest will take care of itself. If he has opportunity to touch the ball several times a game, he’ll impact that league just like high school.”
