2026 6’8 Trey Thompson has been an impressive talent every time he has stepped on the Phenom Hoops platform, and his recruitment has been picking up in a big way.  He has landed offers from several schools over the last year including Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Purdue, and others.

He recently posted his most recent visit to Tennessee, when the Vols took on Arkansas.  We caught up with the forward to talk more about his visit, what he walked away with, what impressed him, and if any new interests were coming his way. See what he had to say.

Phenom: What all did you get to see or do on the visit?
Thompson: As soon as we got there, we took the pictures and then went to Thompson Bowling Arena. Pregame, I felt the energy the players had. Everyone was locked in and was getting ready for the game. I felt the presence. During the game, the fans and players were electric. The team played together and really rebounded as well as pressured the ball at an elite level.

Phenom: What did you like about their style of player?
Thompson: I love the way they take pride in their defense, sometimes playing for the whole 30 seconds on multiple possessions. Something that every player has bought into, and I love that about them.

Phenom: Did you get to talk to the staff?
Thompson: I did a little bit. The staff is great, they said how they love how the whole community comes together for Tennessee and how much love comes back to see them again. It is just a huge family.

Phenom: What were your overall takeaways from your visit?
Thompson: I just loved the coaches and the atmosphere of Thompson, it is incredible.

Phenom: Any other visits planned coming up?
Thompson: Nothing scheduled yet.

Phenom: Any new interests coming your way?
Thompson: I’ve been in contact with South Carolina some as well.
