Ty Thompson brings rare QB-to-TE versatility, but Tulane is still waiting on a healthy breakout
Ty Thompson is a former five-star quarterback recruit turned Tulane tight end, which gives him unusual ball skills, spatial awareness, and a feel for offense that most TEs do not have. Tulane listed him as a 2025 preseason candidate for the Wuerffel Trophy and an Allstate Good Works Team selection, signaling strong intangibles and leadership. The catch: he missed the entire 2025 season, so the main question is availability and how quickly he can translate that unique background into consistent on-field production.
