Early life
Jeremy grew up in the Onondaga Nation, NY, and was one of five children of Doloris and Jerome Thompson. 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.

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.[3] 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.
