Four-star Thompson commits to Iowa men’s basketball

IOWA CITY — Tennessee native Trey Thompson has signed a scholarship agreement with the University of Iowa men’s basketball program, it was announced Wednesday by head coach Ben McCollum.

The Greeneville native reclassified from the Class of 2026 to join the Hawkeyes this fall.

“Trey has a level of versatility that we look for in all of our players,” said McCollum. “He’s 6-foot-8, he’s physical, can really shoot it and pass it. Trey processes the game quickly to be able to trigger offense, which should help us in Big Ten play.”

Thompson is the fourth Class of 2025 prospect to join the Iowa roster, joining West Des Moines’ Trevin Jirak, Oklahoma’s Tate Sage and Missouri’s Peyton McCollum.

He is the 14th player on the Iowa roster along with Drake transfers Bennett Stirtz, Kael Combs, Cam Manyawu, Isaia Howard, Tavion Banks and Joey Matteoni, Robert Morris transfer Alvaro Folgueiras, Kansas State transfer Brendan Hausen and Hawkeye returnees Cooper Koch and walk-on Jacob Koch.

Thompson chose the Hawkeyes over big-name programs Purdue, Indiana, Alabama, UConn, Kansas, Tennessee, and others.

Thompson finished his final high school campaign with a stat line of 24.5 points, 10. 3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game, and his efforts guided Greeneville to the semifinals of the Class 3A Tennessee Boys Basketball State Tournament.

247 Sports tabbed Thompson as a four-star recruit, the No. 2 player in Tennessee, and the No. 59 overall player in the Class of 2026.

Starting at $4.38/week.
