Brendan Thompson is a young, active Norfolk State linebacker with upside
Brendan Thompson, a 2025 freshman linebacker at Norfolk State, appeared in two games and recorded two tackles, including one solo stop, showing up on both defense and special teams in the 2025 season. He’s listed at 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds, and his profile suggests a compact, physical defender who has already earned first-team all-state and all-Tidewater honors in high school. The main appeal: developmental upside, toughness, and early willingness to contribute wherever needed—exactly the kind of tone-setter coaches like to keep in the room.
