Justin Thompson is a two-time cancer survivor and didn't take up golf until the age of 10, but he's now on his way to Division I golf.
Thompson, a 2017 recruit from Dallas, Texas, has verbally committed to SMU, marking the third get for the Mustangs in recent times after Noah Goodwin (2018) and Ryan Grider (2017) both signed on.
The only other offer Thompson had came from the University of Texas at Arlington. However, the 17-year-old had also visited Abilene Christian and was in talks with Texas Tech, Baylor and North Texas before choosing SMU.
