Wide receiver Brenen Thompson is someone that's relatively unknown to Mississippi State fans. The Oklahoma transfer, who played for Bulldogs head coach Jeff Lebby in Norman in 2023, arrived to Starkville in January without too much fanfare, and with the spring game being a non-televised, small-scale event, there hasn't been much of an opportunity for Thompson to enter the spotlight.
