The Path to Norman

Brenan Thompson began his time in college on the wrong side of the Red River; the 2022 receiver with blazing speed played for Texas his freshman season. Although Thompson had shown interest in the Sooners during his recruitment process, he didn’t end up as part of the OU recruiting class. After just one year with the Longhorns, however, Thompson revisited that idea and transferred to Norman.

This Season

Thompson has been healthy this offseason and has continued to show how fast he is. He will have a chance this fall to make a role for himself in a receiver room deep in talent but with several injuries.
