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.
Combine Data

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Drafted by Chargers
The Chargers selected Thompson in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 105th overall.
Thompson is a speedster who put up eye-popping numbers in Jeff Lebby's offense at Mississippi State in 2025, racking up 57 grabs for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns. He's undersized at 5-foot-9, 166 pounds, however, he possesses blazing speed, posting a 4.26 40-time at the NFL Combine, which isn't surprising given his track background. The Chargers already have a trio of impressive receivers in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, but Thompson could slot in behind that group and see the field in the slot if McConkey needs a breather or misses any time.
