Brenen Thompson grabs single season receiving record at Mississippi State
There’s a new single-season record holder for receiving at Mississippi State.
Following Brenen Thompson’s 13-yard catch in the fourth quarter of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl against Wake Forest, Thompson has broken the record for most yards in a single season with 1,054. Thompson’s first two catches of the night netted a total of 60 yards including a 51-yard reception on the first play of the game.
Thompson passed Fred Ross (2015), Mardye McDoyle (1978) and then previous record holder Makai Polk (2021) to cement his name in Bulldog history.
The Spearman, Texas native is in the middle of easily the greatest season of his career. After initially playing for Texas his freshman season, he played two seasons for Oklahoma with the first of those being for Jeff Lebby when the coach was offensive coordinator for the Sooners.
