Thornton was undoubtedly the tone-setter on the defensive side of the ball for the Florida Future Stars eighth-grade team. Each state, even each team, practices differently during the Future Stars Game week–but this team got after it full tilt from the jump. Thornton was an extremely active middle linebacker who used his mixture of power and speed to make a number of big hits during inside run drills. Some kids are just built differently mentally and physically, and that’s Thornton. Really bright future.
