The wait is over.

Nacogdoches cornerback Josh Thompson put all the speculation to rest when he flipped his commitment from TCU to Texas on Wednesday.

“Basically, I just feel at home,” Thompson said. “I have a great relationship with the players and the coaches. I really like the atmosphere there. It’s just a great place overall.”

Thompson originally committed to TCU in June over offers from Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Utah and a number of others. However, Texas continued to recruit him.

Things between UT and Thompson really started to heat in early July. Thompson then camped at Texas for Under The Lights and walked away with an offer from the Longhorns.

While he didn’t immediately flip, Thompson knew Texas would be a good fit for him thanks to the relationship he has with the coaching staff.

“Coach (Jeff) Traylor hits me up all the time,” Thompson said. “He shoots me texts back even late at night. We have a great relationship. Coach (Clay) Jennings is a great coach, and I’ve known him since he was at Arkansas. He’s straightforward and tells you what he means.”

But it wasn’t all about the staff.

One of the biggest factors in Thompson’s recruitment was former teammate and Texas freshman safety Brandon Jones, who continuously recruited him throughout the offseason.

“It’s really cool knowing that we are going to play with each other again,” Thompson said. “He’s a really good friend. He just told me that I’m going to have to go in there and work for what I want.”

At 6-foot, 182 pounds, Thompson is ranked as the No. 67 cornerback in the country and No. 87 overall prospect in the state, according to 247Sports Composite.

Thompson was a first team all-district selection as a cornerback last year after notching 36 tackles and nine pass breakups. However, Texas sees him as more of a versatile player in the secondary.

“They said that I could play three different spots,” Thompson said. “They think I can play the nickel, corner and free safety. They run what we run at my high school, so I’m familiar with it. I’m willing to play whatever.”
