Tom Thompson was a place-kicker for Division III Austin College in Sherman, Texas and wore the number 91. On November 14, 2009 at the age of 61, Tom Thompson became the oldest player in NCAA history after he scored the extra point for Austin College's only touchdown of the game against Trinity University.

So brave and a hero to us older people. He should be named special teams player of the week, his uniform sent to the Hall of fame, and post pics of himself in a bikini on facebook.

Still not as impressive as Sarah Fuller's big kicks.

He may have just been a kicker but he looks like one of those dudes with “old man strength”

I actually did know this only because I looked it up several years ago when South Carolina had a dude who was in his 40s on their roster.
