Alabama football priority wide receiver target moves up official visit date

Namajay Thompson has pushed up his official visit with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Thompson is a 2027 three-star wide receiver prospect, and he attends Crest High School in Shelby, North Carolina. He is now set to officially visit the Crimson Tide on the weekend of June 5 after previously being scheduled to officially visit the Tide the weekend of June 12.

The Tide hosted Thompson during the spring and visited him in North Carolina soon after, and assured him that he was a priority target.

“They’ve been really consistent with me,” Thompson said. “When they came by, they made it clear I’m a priority for them and one of the top guys on their board, also letting me know how much they value me and that they would love to see me in that crimson jersey.”

Thompson is fresh off an official visit to Georgia, and the Bulldogs and the Tide could be the last two standing in the future for the wide receiver.

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 see 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.
