'08 OH RB Gary Thornton (YSU signee)
Scout Profile
Rivals Profile   Rayen High School (Youngstown, OH) Height: 5-foot-9 Weight: 185 lbs. Could be one of the top RBs in the state next year. Size might be the only issue, but he has the talent. Film from his sophmore year is available on Scout. He is a HEAVY OSU lean at this point, should he eventually get offered by the Buckeyes. Free Link There is a picture of Gary taken by Gary Housteau. Free Link Photos and an article by Gary Housteau about Rayen teammates Gary Thornton and Tomaz Hilton. Last edited by wadc45; 02-28-2007 at 01:54 PM.

I watched his highlight reel, and gotta say, it was very impressive for a soph runningback.
He reminded me of Deangelo Williams/Ladainian Tomlinson in terms of his running style. He may be "small" but he's a powerful back who runs north south and makes a LOT of people miss. He has a really quick burst, great shiftiness, and always falls forward. His offensive line didn't look to great either. Definitely a guy to keep an eye out for in 2008.

I know Gary personally and he is a great kid. He has been working extremely hard in preparing for this season. He's bulked up to 195 pounds, so it will be interesting to see how well recruiting goes for him. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on him this year. I hope that everything goes well with him.
BTW, here's film of Thornton courtesy of scoutingohio.com. http://www.markportermedia.com/GaryT...n_soph2005.htm

from everything I have heard, Gary is a heck of a young man and a solid football player...just the kind of kid JT and the staff will take a long look at.

10/30 By Lichtenfels...Gary talks about why he and Sal Battles stayed to be apart of the new Youngstown East when Rayen closes next year instead of going somewhere like Mooney. He mentions hearing from schools such as Akron, Michigan, Purdue, Wisconsin, Indiana, Penn State, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami (OH), Iowa, West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

Looks a bit undersized to be a college linebacker but hits like a ton of bricks and fills gaps well. As a ball carrier, good leverage and quick feet. Attacks the line of scrimmage. Reminds me a bit of Mo Wells working out of a shotgun attack.
