4-star forward Trey Thompson sets official visit to Vanderbilt

Trey Thompson, a four-star power forward in the 2026 class, will take an official visit to Vanderbilt next week. The 6-foot-8 rising senior out of Greeneville High (TN) will be in Nashville on Wednesday and Thursday (June 25-26).

Thompson has already completed official visits to Purdue and Tennessee. He will take an official to Iowa (June 23) right before his trip to Vandy. Clemson hosted him unofficially last week.

He also holds offers from Alabama, Kansas, UConn, Indiana, Virginia, and others.

In On3’s latest 2026 ranking update, Thompson jumped 60 spots, from No. 115 all the way to No. 55.

On3’s Jamie Shaw explained why:

Listed in the 6-foot-8, 6-foot-9 range, Trey Thompson has come out of the gates proving to be a consistent threat scoring the ball. To this point, with the Tennessee Impact team on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, he is averaging 17.6 points on 39.2 percent shooting from three on 7.0 attempts per game. He has also held down the fort around the basket, grabbing 7.9 rebounds per contest. He has had quality volume while consistently scoring in an efficient manner, averaging 1.146 points per possession during Circuit play.

Thompson talks his game + what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with On3, Trey Thompson discussed his game.

“I’m going to surprise anyone with my athletic ability,” Thompson told On3. “But I play fundamental basketball, stretch the floor, shoot threes, and find the open guy all the time. My defense has gotten a lot better this summer. I’ve really worked at it this off-season and now I’m staying in front of guys and moving my feet.”

Thompson knows what he wants in a future college program.

“I want to go to a school that wants me as bad as I want them,” Thompson said. “And they’re willing to push me to be a basketball player and person on the court.

“I was going to commit by November, but things kind of blew up for me. It feels good to be wanted, but I want to go and see every campus that I can, who is interested in me, and then go from there. I will probably sign after the early signing period, maybe January or February.”
