Missouri State TE with Gritty Versatility and Special Teams Spark
Missouri State senior Trae Thompson (6'1", 253 lbs) wrapped his Bears career in 2023 playing all 11 games, logging a 5-yard rush against No. 15 Northern Iowa, while contributing on special teams with a blocked kick earlier in his tenure; his high school pedigree from Tulsa Union highlights blocking prowess and athleticism as a TE/OLB hybrid, making him a high-motor, coachable fit for teams needing intense, multi-phase contributors—post-2023, he's a draft longshot but intriguing UDFA with FCS reliability and no notable injury flags.
