Thompson, a 6-foot-4, 240-pounder with 4.8-second speed in the 40-yard dash, chose the Eagles over offers from Stanford, Maryland, Northwestern, Miami (Ohio) and others.
Thompson committed to BC head coach Tom O'Brien on an in-home visit on Wednesday. He is ranked as the No. 58 strong-side defensive end in the country and No. 42 in the Ohio Top 50.
