After passing on Ohio State's Justin Fields in the 1st round of the 2021 NFL Draft, it became apparent that Carolina would come out of the draft without another quarterback. However, that has not stopped head coach Matt Rhule and GM Scott Fitterer from looking around to further add competition behind Sam Darnold.
Thomson began his career at UNLV where he redshirted, then transferred to become the starter at Sacramento State. In three years there, he tossed for 6,424 yards, 52 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and completed 57.3% of his passes. His final year at Sacramento State was his best in which he threw for 3,216 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions. Following the season, Thomson was named Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year, First Team All-Big Sky, HERO Sports First Team All-American, Phil Steele Second Team All-American, Associated Press Third Team All-American, and STATS Perform Third Team All-American.
