Jeremy grew up in the Onondaga Nation, NY, and was one of five children of Doloris, an Onondaga mother, and Jerome Thompson, a Mohawk father from Akwesasne. [3] Jeremy and his brothers, Jerome (Hiana), Miles, and Lyle, began playing lacrosse at a very young age due to the spiritual and cultural significance lacrosse has in the Native American community. He attended LaFayette High School outside Syracuse, New York, where he led them to two state championships and became an Under Armour and US Lacrosse All-American.

College

After high school, Jeremy Thompson went on to attend Onondaga Community College. While he was there, Jeremy helped them win two NJCAA national championships, two Mid-State Conference championships, as well as two Region III championships. In his two seasons at OCC, the Lazers went 31–0 with two undefeated national championship seasons. After his time in Junior College, he attended Syracuse University, nearby to his hometown of Nedrow, NY. His first season at Syracuse, he was a USILA Second Team All-American and was All Big East. His senior season he was Third Team All-American as well as All Big East for the second straight year. [4] His brothers Miles and Lyle both played lacrosse at the University of Albany with their cousin Ty Thompson. His other brother Jerome (Haina) played with him at Onondaga Community College.

Professional career

Jeremy Thompson currently plays in both the National Lacrosse League and Premier Lacrosse League. In the NLL, he plays for the Georgia Swarm and in PLL, he plays for the Atlas. He started his MLL career on the Florida Launch but was traded with his brother Lyle Thompson to the Chesapeake Bayhawks on March 3, 2017. He signed with the Atlas on June 16 from the waiver wire after playing for the Chaos in the inaugural PLL season. [5]

Thompson has previously played with the Buffalo Bandits, Edmonton Rush, Saskatchewan Rush and Panther City Lacrosse Club. Prior to the 2023 NLL season, he was traded to the Georgia Swarm. This will be the first time he is playing his brothers Lyle and Miles on the same team in the NLL. They previously played together for the Florida Launch in the MLL. Their brother Hiana currently plays for the Albany FireWolves, but has also previously played for the Georgia Swarm with Lyle and Miles. [6]
