Thompson is a 6-foot-8 forward in the 2026 class and is coming off a stellar season in 2023-24 at the high school level. He averaged 24.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game at Greeneville High School.

"After speaking with (Coach Painter) I am very thankful and appreciative to have received an offer from Purdue," Thompson wrote on X back in July.

Thompson will get to experience Mackey Arena at its finest. The iconic venue is one of the best atmospheres in the sport, and hosting a top-15 matchup will only intensify the atmosphere.
