The Odessa Drillers are proud to officially welcome Carlos Thompson to the squad — and Drillers Nation, this is a MAJOR signing.
Carlos made his mark playing at Texas Tech, showcasing elite speed and playmaking ability at the Division I level, and fans across the country also recognize him from Netflix’s Last Chance U, where his talent and competitive drive were on full display.
He’s also no stranger to West Texas, having previously suited up for the West Texas Warbirds, and now he’s back in the Permian Basin ready to make an even bigger impact. Carlos is a true game changer — the kind of player who can flip momentum in a single play and become a complete nightmare for opposing defenses every time he steps on the field.
Drillers fans, get ready… the excitement just went to another level.
