Thompson was one of the top golfers to ever wear the green and white, earning multiple national accolades over his career.

He became only the third golfer in UND history to earn All-America honors, doing so in 1985 when he placed 14th in the NCAA Division II Championships. Thompson followed it up with an at-large selection to the same event in 1986, where he placed 26th after placing third in the DII District V Tournament.

As a team, the Sioux finished second in back-to-back NCC Championships in 1984 and 1985. Thompson was inducted into the North Dakota Golf Association Hall of Fame in 2007.
