Mississippi State’s Brenen Thompson Shatters NFL Combine Records with Jaw-Dropping 4.26 40-Yard Dash—Is He the Next Big Star?
Thompson and Zavion Thomas were the only receivers to break 4.30 seconds in 2026, with Thomas clocking 4.28. Lorenzo Styles Jr. recorded a 4.27, the second-fastest overall time at this year’s event. Thompson’s second run was unofficially 4.30, and Next Gen Stats tracked his top speed at 23.95 mph on that attempt, the seventh-fastest top speed recorded at the combine since 2023 and faster than Worthy’s 23.62 mph in 2024.
Measured at 5-foot-9 and 164 pounds, Thompson completed his only season at Mississippi State in 2025 with 57 receptions for 1,054 yards and six receiving touchdowns across 13 games, setting the program’s single-season receiving yardage record. His 1,054 yards also led the SEC. On top of that, he ran the ball four times for 14 yards and scored once. During the season, he produced 12 receptions of at least 30 yards and five of 50-plus yards, including a 58-yard game-winning touchdown against Arizona State. He averaged 39.8 yards per touchdown for his collegiate career after previous stops at Oklahoma and Texas.
