Thornton was first team All County in the pass happy offense over at Sandy Creek in 2019. He carries his weight well, and already 190 lbs. for a class of 2022 player – there is little doubt that Thornton won’t be over 200 lbs. at the next level. I really like how he catches the football away from his body. He shows pretty strong hands. Route running is solid, but it’s his deceptive running stride that just eats up yardage and gets defenders out of position while in pursuit. Only film from this year though is against Northgate from the very start of the year. He had a long reception where he stiff armed a few defenders. He’s a physical slot type receiver, and though he doesn’t explode out of a cut, they are well timed so he can be tough to bring down after the catch. Looks really impressive blocking on perimeter, definitely see option teams being interested in Thornton, but lack of film junior year is a head scratcher at this point.
