A former Indiana men's soccer student-athlete, Tanner Thompson returned to the program in March 2022 as an assistant coach. Thompson works with the coaching staff to prepare and execute daily training sessions, scouting, video preparation and team analytics.
In his first season on staff, Indiana returned to the NCAA College Cup and national title match. Earning the No. 13 national seed, the Hoosiers stormed through the NCAA Tournament with shutout victories against Saint Louis, Marshall, UNC Greensboro and Pitt in the national semifinal. IU finished No. 2 nationally with a 14-5-6 overall record and an 8-4-1 mark against ranked opponents.
Thompson was a three-time All-American at IU from 2013-16, scoring 18 goals and contributing 19 assists. In 2017, he was Minnesota United’s fourth-round selection in the MLS SuperDraft and went on to play for USL side Indy Eleven for one season. His brother, Tommy Thompson, played alongside him in 2013 and now plays for the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer. Tanner’s father, Gregg Thompson, led the Hoosiers to their first NCAA Title in 1982, scoring both goals in the final, and is a member of the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.
