Explosive wide receiver Alabama once prioritized decommits from Florida State

Majay Thompson, who was once a priority target for Alabama, is back on the market after de-committing from Florida State.

Thompson attends Crest High School in Shelby, North Carolina, and he is a member of the 2027 recruiting class. Most recruiting sites consider him to be a three-star recruit.

Alabama, Georgia and Wake Forest hosted him for an official visit before Florida State earned a commitment from the wide receiver. Thompson included each of those programs in his de-commitment announcement graphic.

After conversations with my people, i’ve decided to decommit and reopen my recruitment. I appreciate everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. Excited for what’s next!

Alabama considered Thompson to be a priority target before his commitment to the Seminoles.

“They’ve been really consistent with me,” Thompson told Touchdown Alabama in April before his official visit with the Crimson Tide. “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.”

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.
