Willard Thompson gives Oglethorpe a smooth-shooting, high-IQ guard with real 3-point juice
In the 2025-26 season, sophomore guard Willard Thompson is listed at 6-foot-2 for Oglethorpe and has already flashed scoring pop, including an 18-point outing in a win at Johnson & Wales and a profile built around perimeter shooting and a fast-paced fit. His prep résumé pointed to elite range, with 130 made threes in his senior year and 40.4% accuracy from deep, which explains why he looks like a plug-and-play floor spacer. For a team, he’s appealing if you want a confident shooter who can fit an uptempo offense and doesn’t need the ball to matter.
