Washington State safety Thompson entering NFL supplemental draft

Washington State safety Jalen Thompson will enter the NFL supplemental draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Thompson lost his eligibility for 2019 due to an NCAA violation, spurring his decision to enter the draft, Rapoport added. The safety confirmed on Twitter that he won't be returning to Washington State next season.

In his three seasons with the Cougars, Thompson totaled 121 tackles, six interceptions, and 17 pass breakups.

The supplemental draft will only feature a few prospects who have left their programs following the initial regular pre-draft process.

The NFL is yet to announce the date of the supplemental draft, but it is typically in early July. Teams that select a player will forfeit the corresponding pick in next year's regular draft.
