As Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, his tenure witnessed the rise of a championship program, garnering over 71 MEAC Championships and earning him a prestigious spot in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Hall of Fame in June 2023.
The whole world is a stage.
Thompson's creative prowess extends beyond the realm of athletics, as he leaves an indelible mark in the world of television. From hosting a weekly sports show featuring B-CU Athletics to producing historical video segments celebrating the legacy of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, his work has captivated audiences far and wide.
In collaboration with The Blk Originals, Thompson co-wrote and narrated "Kingfish: The Kenny Washington Story," a poignant documentary highlighting the journey of the first black football player to re-integrate the National Football League in 1946.
