Arkansas Secures Top Guard and Big Man at Nike EYBL Peach Jam

Davion Thompson and Caleb Ourigou deliver standout showings, setting the stage for a 2026 reclassification

Rising Stars Shine at Peach Jam

The Nike EYBL Peach Jam in Georgia has become a proving ground for the next wave of elite talent, and this year two Arkansas commitments are making headlines.

Davion Thompson, a five‑star guard, is averaging 20 points, 4.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 42.9% from three‑point range for Meanstreets, a team that sits 0‑3 in the tournament.

Ourigou’s Impact in the Paint

Caleb Ourigou, a four‑star big man, is contributing 5.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game for NY Rens, whose record stands at 1‑2 after a triple‑overtime victory over the Florida Rebels in which he grabbed 11 rebounds and a block.

A New Chapter for Arkansas

Both players are slated to reclassify to the 2026 class and join the Razorbacks this season, a move that head coach John Calipari has been tracking closely alongside assistant Troy Fason.

Their arrivals promise to bolster Arkansas’s backcourt and frontcourt depth, giving the program a boost as it looks to compete in the SEC and beyond.
