Marcellius Pulliam of Coastal Carolina & Jared Lloyd of Missouri State are tied for second with 48 & Oumar Diomande of Colorado State, Mayson Hitchens of Central Michigan and Derek McDonald of North Carolina tied for fourth with 45. Thompson's total puts him 6 tackles clear of second place & 17 ahead of the 25th-ranked player.
