Norman, Oklahoma – Third-string Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Casey Thompson was made available for comments after practice today, during which time he announced that this season—his seventh—would not be his last playing college football.
“It’s my understanding that American football is really catching on in Mexico, so that’s exciting to hear. And I minored in Spanish when I was at FAU, so I feel pretty good about being able to pick up the play calling and stuff like that,” said Thompson.
“Japan is also an option, it’s getting really big over there. Plus, they don’t have any eligibility restrictions, so I could theoretically play for the next decade or longer,” Thompson commented. “I already have two degrees, so I would be moving on to post-graduate work over there.”
When asked if there would ever come a time when he might stop playing college football, Thompson seemed confused. “Why would I do that?”
