veteran Blue Raiders lineman with the kind of size that keeps quarterbacks smiling
In the 2026 season, Mark Thompson is listed as a senior offensive lineman for Middle Tennessee at 6-foot-5, 296 pounds, giving the Blue Raiders an experienced, NFL-sized body up front[1]. The stat sheet won’t fully capture him—his value is in steady trench work, veteran presence, and the ability to anchor a line that needs grown-man football on Saturdays[1]. If your team wants a dependable, physical OL who brings size, maturity, and roster stability, Thompson looks like a sensible fit rather than a flashy one[1].
