Coming out of the Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, Thompson is originally from Bolingbrook, Illinois. Listed at 6-2, 170 pounds, Thompson is rated 5-stars, the No. 1 recruit in Missouri, No. 5 point guard and No. 22 prospect overall in the Class of 2027 on the 247Sports Composite. Thompson is reportedly considering reclassifying to 2026, and will make a final decision after the Nike Peach Jam (July 14-19).
Thompson has picked up 19 scholarship offers during his recruitment. He narrowed it down to Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Baylor and Michigan for Wednesday’s big decision.
