Trey Thompson, a four-star prospect and a Purdue target in the 2026 class, won't be headed to West Lafayette. On Saturday, the Greenville, Tenn. star announced his commitment to Iowa and will also reclassify as a member of the 2025 class.

Thompson, a 6-foot-8 forward, made his announcement with a social media post on X. He received several offers on the recruiting front, committing to Iowa over Purdue, Clemson, Tennessee, Alabama, Butler, Indiana, Kansas, Providence, UConn, Villanova, and others.

"To start, I want to take the time to thank God for always walking by my side and leading me down the right paths. I would also like to thank my family, friends, and coaches for always supporting me through my basketball endeavors," Thompson wrote.

"Extremely thankful for my parents for sacrificing so much for me to follow my dreams and passions. With that being said, I have decided to re-classify up to the 2025 class and commit to the University of Iowa. Go Hawkeyes."
