39 Trivia Bits About College Football Every NCAA Fan Should Know

May 17, 2024 by Sarah Barber

#8: Good Old Tom Thompson

Tom Thompson is proof that it’s never too late to live your dream. In 2009, Tom became the oldest college football player in NCAA history. He was 61 years young. How did Tom get into such a situation? Well, he was attending Austin College as a graduate student when he decided to try out for the football team. 

Tom played football in high school, but it had been several decades since he had been on the field. He told news reporters that he had to learn how to kick all over again when he joined the Austin College team. On November 14, 2009, Tom scored the extra point for his team’s only touchdown in the game against Trinity University.
