Vanderbilt to Host 2026 4-Star Power Forward

Thompson is also expected to make a stop next week at Iowa, who extended an offer to the Greeneville, Tennessee native on May 20.

247Sports' ranks the 6-foot-8, 220 lb. prospect as the No. 10 power forward in the class and the No. 4 player in Tennessee. As a junior in 2024, Thompson averaged a double-double with 24.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.

He is extremely athletic around the rim with his ability to finish and is also an excellent shooter. In three seasons of varsity basketball, Thompson has shot over 55 percent from the field and over 45% from three. Not to mention he is also a solid free throw shooter, knocking down 81 percent of his attempts.

As of now, Vanderbilt does not holds any commitments for the 2026 recruiting class, but has extended offers to several talented prospects. While the 2024-25 season may not have been exactly ideal in the eyes of many Commodores fans, Byington and the staff look to be laying the foundation for a strong program.
