Explosive North Carolina wide receiver says Alabama offer ‘means everything’

Namajay Thompson reported an offer from Alabama football this week

Thompson is a product of Crest High School in Shelby, North Carolina. His offer list continues to grow with recent offers from Alabama, Florida, North Carolina State and Virginia Tech.

The junior considered it to be a big deal when Alabama contacted him. Receiving an offer from the Crimson Tide was massive to him.

“Offer means a lot,” Thompson told Touchdown Alabama. “It was one of my top schools to hear from on my list, and just to be able to achieve that goal, but not only just that goal, but to get an offer by Alabama, that means everything to me.”

The North Carolina product wants to get to Alabama this spring for a visit and see what he feels is a program that stands out.

“I see Alabama as one of the premier programs in college football,” Thompson said. “The tradition, championship culture, and player development really stand out to me. They compete at the highest level every year and prepare their athletes for success on and off the field.”

At 6-foot and 186 pounds, Thompson reports the ability to run a 4.4 forty, and his speed is evident in some of his top plays from the 2025 football season. He flashes the ability to take the top off of defense by getting behind the secondary, along with his ability to turn a short pass into a big gain. The new Alabama targets sees his route-running, strong hands, ability to create separation, blocking, speed, and body control as strengths.

Thompson finished his junior season with 53 receptions and 865 receiving yards. He compiled 1,115 all-purpose yards and 14 total touchdowns.
