Iowa’s 6-8 Redshirt Freshman Forward with Elite Scoring Pedigree and Explosive Energy
Trey Thompson, a 6-8, 220-pound redshirt freshman forward for the Iowa Hawkeyes, is a four-star prospect (On3/247Sports) who averaged 24.5 points and 10.3 rebounds as a junior while shooting 61% from the field[1]. Though he redshirted the 2025-26 season after reclassifying from the 2026 to 2025 class[1][2], his 7-2 wingspan and ability to hit threes make him a versatile differentiator[7]. Thompson brings unmatched intensity as the team’s youngest player, known for his ‘explode recruitment’ momentum and high-energy personality[4][9]. With no injury history and a pedigree of leading Greeneville to a district title, he’s a perfect fit for teams needing a dynamic, data-driven scorer who elevates intensity instantly[1].
