Thomas Cheatham brings size and a rare baseball-to-football edge to Mississippi State’s receiver room
In the 2025 season, Thomas Cheatham is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior wide receiver at Mississippi State with a standout multi-sport background and a late-blooming path from Northwest Mississippi CC to the SEC. His appeal is obvious: length, frame, and a competitive edge that comes from earning his spot the hard way, plus the kind of athletic versatility coaches love to bet on. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values upside, toughness, and special-teams willingness over polished stat-sheet production right now.
