Summary

Brenen Thompson’s career has taken him across the SEC, starting at Texas, then spending two seasons at Oklahoma before finishing at Mississippi State. It wasn’t until his time with the Bulldogs that his big-play ability truly emerged. He got open at will downfield last fall, averaging 18.5 yards per catch and surpassing the 1,000-yard mark. Thompson is undersized and will face limitations because of it, but he can separate at a high level.

About

2025: Broke Mississippi State single-season receiving yards record (1,054)
2025: First Mississippi State player to lead SEC in receiving yards in a season

Strengths

Graceful, explosive mover with elite burst out of breaks.
Can run routes at angles and shows good body control.
Plus play strength for his size; fights to avoid contact.

Weaknesses

Tends to body-catch and will drop some passes.
Smaller frame and limited catch radius; unlikely to consistently work the middle of the field in the NFL.
Late bloomer with only one year of significant production.
