After announcing his commitment to Iowa basketball on July 5, four-star power forward Trey Thompson has finally put pen to paper on Wednesday to officially sign with the Hawkeyes for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
“Trey has a level of versatility that we look for in all of our players,” said head coach Ben 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 has averaged 21.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game on 56% shooting from the field, 45% from 3-point territory, and 81% from the free-throw line in his three varsity seasons from Greeneville High School, per his MaxPreps profile.
The 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward out of Greeneville, Tenn., chose the Hawkeyes over offers from some powerhouse programs, including Tennessee, Purdue, Kansas, Clemson, and Vanderbilt.
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.
