Cullen Thompson was in Pittsburgh earlier this month for the first week of Pitt’s spring practice. Thompson is a 6-4 and 215-pound defensive end prospect out of Grand Oaks High School in Spring, Texas. He was offered by Pitt defensive coordinator Randy Bates in early January.
That early connection with Bates got Thompson’s attention right away, as he his maintained contact with Pitt ever since and it was a reason he made his way from Texas to come to Pittsburgh early on in the spring schedule. The city itself was the first thing to stand out to Thompson once he got to town.
