Is the article is accurate? An unranked member of the class of 2022, and then only having 1 year of eligibility left? If he was really in the 2022 class he would have played only 1 year and should 3 years yet to play..... What's up????

Thompson has 3 years left.

Edit: I saw one article that said he had 3 years which would sense but another that said he does indeed only have 1 year since his “clock” started in Australia. Not sure I understand why but seems to only have 1 year.

Probably attended college in Australia which started his eligibility clock.

He’s a Aussie. Will be 23 in January but this profile has him as a sophomore at FAU in 2023.
