Thompson posted the news with the bellow message on his personal Facebook account:
I am happy to announce that I have verbally committed to continuing my education and wrestling career after this school year at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD. I am blessed to have so many people to thank. First, my parents and family for supporting, encouraging, and getting me here. Second, I have been lucky to have so many coaches and mentors in wrestling to coach me, offer advice, and support me on and off the mat. Thank you! Next, I would like to thank Logan-Magnolia Schools and community. Thank you for the excellent education and opportunities you have made available to me. Logan-Magnolia has the best fans in the state, thank you for being with me on and off the mat. I feel confident “I will have left it all in the circle” at Logan-Magnolia after this year. I was also taught I should always thank those who challenge me, so thank you to our competing schools and communities. We all have the same goals, without your competition and also support, I would not be where I am. Thank you for competing. Finally, thank you to Northern State University, athletic department, coaches, and future teammates for accepting me. I will work hard and do all I can for the Wolves.
