FIU nabbed oral commitments from two local football prospects on Thursday.

Miami Norland cornerback Bryon Brown committed in the afternoon, and then Miami Central linebacker Donavan Thompson, a three-star recruit according to Rivals, committed Thursday night.

Thompson, a three-time state champion as a starter on the Rockets defense, turned down offers from Arkansas, Oregon State, USF and Cincinnati.

The Panthers now list 11 commitments in their 2016 recruiting class.
