Kelsey Thompson brings two-way stability and leadership to Old Dominion’s backcourt
Thompson is a high-minute, all-situations guard who started all 34 games for Old Dominion in 2024-25 and averaged 9.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 80% at the free-throw line.[1][3][9] Her value goes beyond the box score: she rebounds like a wing, can handle secondary playmaking, and gives the Monarchs a dependable, mature presence after transferring from South Alabama, where she also produced against her former team early in conference play.[3][11] She fits best as a versatile connector guard who competes hard, stays on the floor, and adds academic/locker-room credibility as a CSC Academic All-District honoree with a 3.67 GPA.[9]
