It’s the same one the New England Patriots have run since Charlie Weis started there. Thompson watched the game and made calls, predicting what the Patriots’ offense would do next. If the players needed any more motivation to buy into what Weis says, Monday night was it. http://florida.scout.com/2/1106940.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/1106940.html Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:56:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Forgive Deonte Thompson if there wasn’t a bit of joy in his voice when he spoke to the media on Friday. The speedy wide out was on his last two days of his final fall football camp at Florida, a time where the grind is as tough as any in a college football career. However, along with that joy comes some excitement for what Thompson believes will be an exciting offense for fans to watch this year. http://florida.scout.com/2/1098430.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1098430.html Tue, 23 Aug 2011 04:08:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Change is a harsh reality for some on the Florida football team and for others it is a welcome site. Senior Deonte Thompson has embraced the change in offensive philosophy and is excited now that spring practice is under way. In essence Thompson explains, the offense won’t present a lot of changes to the receivers individually, but the look will be different as a whole. http://florida.scout.com/2/1057082.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/1057082.html Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:57:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Wide receiver Deonte Thompson looked at the Florida/Georgia game as a chance for redemption. He knew he didn't put up a good performance against Mississippi State with key drops that could have led to points on Florida's scoreboard. Thompson felt much better about his showing against Georgia as he came away with two receptions for 36 yards. http://florida.scout.com/2/1017399.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/1017399.html Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:54:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida The Florida Gators will be leaning on junior receiver Deonte Thompson a great deal in 2010. The Belle Glade (FL) Glades Central speedster has all the physical gifts to be a superstar in the SEC and now he seems to have caught up with the mental part of the game. Thompson talks about his role as a leader, his relationship with his position coach, and the young guys at his position. http://florida.scout.com/2/992458.html 2047 Laura McKeeman http://florida.scout.com/2/992458.html Sat, 14 Aug 2010 21:52:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Deonte Thompson tossed and turned in his bed Wednesday night. The thought of hitting the practice field rarely causes excitement, but the first day is always different. The close bond of the Florida team had players buzzing, anticipating the day practices would begin. When the alarm clock sounded early Thursday morning, all Thompson could do was smile. http://florida.scout.com/2/989471.html 2047 Cody Jones http://florida.scout.com/2/989471.html Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:21:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida It was a spring practice mostly dominated up front on defense, but there were some shining moments for the offense along the way. Quarterback John Brantley missed practice Wednesday and Trey Burton got almost all the snaps with an occasional break from punter Chas Henry who threw rather well. Here is a short highlight clip of the action. http://florida.scout.com/2/956856.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/956856.html Thu, 25 Mar 2010 11:45:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Wednesday will mark not only the pro scout day for the Gators looking to start earning money professionally. It will also mark the start of one of the more intriguing spring practices in recent years. Florida lost a ton of talent off the 2009 team which finished third nationally and posted the Gators’ third 13-win season in four years. http://florida.scout.com/2/953882.html 2047 Larry Vettel http://florida.scout.com/2/953882.html Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:00:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida For one Florida Gator, 2010 probably couldn't get here quick enough. Deonte Thompson was pretty much an afterthought in an offense that struggled at times in 2009. Now the junior to be is ready for a season and hopes the offense and his role in it will resemble that of the Sugar Bowl victory over Cincinnati. Thompson will be ready. http://florida.scout.com/2/940053.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/940053.html Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:43:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida It was one of the very few question marks on a team that returned just about everyone from the national championship in 2008. This 2009 Gator squad has to replace two NFL players at receiver and has a lot of bodies, but not many proven players to do so. According to sophomore receiver Deonte Thompson, he and his troops are ready to prove the doubters. http://florida.scout.com/2/892535.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/892535.html Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:18:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Sophomore receiver Deonte Thompson looks to take on a much bigger role for the Florida Gators this fall. With the loss of NFL talents Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy, Thompson has the skill set to take off and thrive in the potent Gator offense. Thursday was the first workout for the Gators and he got a lion's share of the attention. He talks about that here in this interview session. http://florida.scout.com/2/885414.html 2047 Bob Redman http://florida.scout.com/2/885414.html Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:19:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida He missed a week of practice with a slight hamstring pull, but Deonte Thompson was back on Saturday in the Gators' scrimmage and he came back with a chip on his shoulder. The Gator defense has been dominating the offense all spring, but Saturday the tables were turned. Thompson and the rest of the receivers along with quarterback John Brantley played big. Thompson talks about it here. http://florida.scout.com/2/856149.html 2047 Jonny Mack http://florida.scout.com/2/856149.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:44:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Redshirt freshman wide receiver Deonte Thompson had been waiting more than a year to work his way into the Florida offense. After grabbing two catches for 28 yards against Miami, the receiver from Belle Glade is hungry for more. http://florida.scout.com/2/789106.html 2047 Chris Chmielenski http://florida.scout.com/2/789106.html Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:07:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Spring ball has come and gone for the 2008 Gator football team and you can count me as one person who is more impressed with this team than he was a month or so ago. Florida had a number of players step forward and show that they are ready for bigger roles and better things in the near and long term future. http://florida.scout.com/2/746081.html 2047 Larry Vettel http://florida.scout.com/2/746081.html Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:20:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Deonte Thompson came to Gainesville as a highly-touted freshman, but didn’t see a snap all season. Frustration grew and there was talk of him transferring, but Thompson is back and hungrier as ever. And he’s glad he's still as a freshman. http://florida.scout.com/2/741218.html 2047 Chris Chmielenski http://florida.scout.com/2/741218.html Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:40:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Two years ago, Urban Meyer’s offense suffered a major hit when three of the Gators’ receivers – Chad Jackson, Jemalle Cornelius and Andre Caldwell – were all sidelined with injuries. The Gators face a similar situation now, albeit not as bad, but they also have the depth this season to overcome it. http://florida.scout.com/2/684232.html 2047 Chris Chmielenski http://florida.scout.com/2/684232.html Thu, 27 Sep 2007 01:55:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida When fall practice begins today, the Florida Gators will welcome 18 newcomers to the team. Florida’s highly regarded recruiting class showed up in two shirts, with several guys entering school back in January and the rest joining the squad for the summer “B” term. http://florida.scout.com/2/664880.html 2047 Larry Vettel http://florida.scout.com/2/664880.html Sun, 05 Aug 2007 13:12:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida Catching up with Deonte Thompson is not always real easy to do. The 4.3 forty wide receiver from Glades Central helped propel the Gators to the No. 1 Recruiting Class in the Country in February. He's getting ready for Gainesville, and Gainesville is ready for him. http://florida.scout.com/2/634422.html 2047 Scott Kennedy http://florida.scout.com/2/634422.html Tue, 10 Apr 2007 23:04:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida Florida is quickly picking up one of the top classes in a long time, and the Gators added another five star commitment today as Deonte Thompson, a wide receiver from Glades Central in Belle Glade, Fla., chose the Gators. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/617085.html 2047 Miller Safrit http://recruiting.scout.com/2/617085.html Wed, 07 Feb 2007 20:57:00 GMT 0 73 Football Recruiting recruiting Deonte Thompson is considered by some to be the No. 1 overall prospect in the state of Florida this year.
