Sacramento (Calif.) Grant five-star safety Shaq Thompson has wrapped up his fourth official visit to ASU this weekend. The 6-foot-2, 210 pound prep has taken previous official visits to Oregon, Washington and Notre Dame.
Five-star Shaq Thompson says that Cal, Washington and Arizona State are the schools he's currently feeling the most.
The trip to Tempe seems to have left a positive impact on his recruitment.
"They showed me a lot of love and the visit went great," Thompson said. "The atmosphere was great and the fans were incredible. I had a really good time at ASU."
The coaches certainly made an impact on his visit.
"They were great and really made me feel wanted," he said. "They were saying how I could come in the secondary and help make a lot of tackles for them. They run a lot of man-to-man so that seems to fit me pretty well."
ASU was able to make a push into his top three, which has been a rotation of schools to a degree. Except for Cal, which has always been a constant. Washington is also on that short list.
"Those three have my attention right now," he said. "I was feeling Oregon too but the more I think about how small Eugene is, I'm not sure that fits me. I'm kind of a big city guy."
Thompson only has one official left which he will take to Utah in December or January he said. His next trip will be to Cal on Dec. 9 for an unofficial trip.
He is the No. 11 ranked player in the nation, according to 247Sports.
