Every commit is important and every snowflake is unique, but this is a great get for the Bears at a position of need.
Shurod Thompson, top safety in the region, tremendous talent. http://t.co/DMSw3GAlou https://t.co/hWLBaVlHxf

Thompson becomes the second Rivals250 member of #Cal's 2016 class, first Rivals100 member.

Rivals and 247 Sports has him as a top-10 safety nationally. With our pass defense being a weakness for the past few seasons, Thompson's commitment is a good thing for the future of the Bears.
247 Sports: 4 star
Rivals: 4 star
ESPN: not ranked
