Four-star Arkansas point guard commit Davion Thompson, a top-25 recruit in the 2027 class, has reclassified to the 2026 class and will play for the Razorbacks this season, he told Rivals.
The 6-foot-2 Bolingbrook, Illinois native, who most recently played for Link Academy (MO), first committed to John Calipari in June. He chose to play for Arkansas over offers from Michigan, Baylor, Vanderbilt, and others.

Thompson is ranked as the No. 23 overall recruit in the 2027 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 8 ranked point guard nationally. His ranking will now be re-evaluated following his move into the 2026 class.
Thompson further solidifies Arkansas’ No. 1 ranked recruiting class with his reclassification. He is set to join five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. (No. 3 nationally), five-star shooting guard Abdou Toure (No. 14 nationally), four-star power forward Miikka Muurinen (No. 19 nationally), four-star shooting guard JJ Andrews (No. 20 nationally), and international center Ilia Frolov.
The Razorbacks also dipped into the transfer portal, landing Georgia guard Jeremiah Wilkinson (17.4 PPG) and Furman big man Cooper Bowser (13.8 PPG).

“Arkansas felt like home,” he said. “Coach Cal has done it with so many guards before me. I believe he can help me reach my goals.”
Thompson has been on a tear this spring with Meanstreets on the EYBL Circuit, averaging 21.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game while shooting nearly 52% from three-point range.
