After receiving two offers on Thursday, Nacogdoches junior CB Josh Thompson picked up an other Friday morning.

Thompson (6-0, 180) officially became a target of Louisiana Tech, the Dragons' standout tweeted.

With the new Division I FBS scholarship opportunity, Thompson now holds four offers total -- Louisiana Tech, SMU, Tulane, and UTSA.

Thompson also became the first player in East Texas' 2017 class to receive an offer from Louisiana Tech, and the 11th to reach four offers.

Louisiana Tech competes in Conference USA, and is coached by Skip Holtz. The Bulldogs are coming off a 9-4 season in 2015 that included a 6-2 conference record and 47-28 win over Arkansas State in the New Orleans Bowl.

Thompson (6-0, 180) recorded nine pass breakups, intercepted a pass and recorded 33 tackles through Nacogdoches’ 10-game season last fall. He also caught 10 passes for 152 offensive yards.

The Dragons missed the postseason after finishing in a three-team tie for fourth place in District 16-5A with Lindale and Corsicana. Lindale won the league’s fourth and final playoff berth on tiebreakers.

Thompson, like all high school football players currently in their junior year, will become eligible to sign with any school that offers him next February.
