Expert Analysis
Ryan Lippert | Prep Redzone Scout
Although we had Josh Thornton Josh Thornton 6'3" | 240 lbs | ATH Boyd County | 2023 State KY listed as a tight end in our initial 2023 rankings, he has had a very impressive year on the defensive side of the ball. The senior defensive end finished the regular season with 63 total tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and eleven sacks. Thornton has shown a tremendous amount of speed and bend off the edge as a pass rusher, blowing by offensive tackles on their outside shoulder. Against the run, Thornton does a great job of stacking the offensive lineman and holding his ground to read the play. Once he sees the ball, he takes great angles and is a very reliable tackler in the open field. He continued to show promise on offense, finishing as his team’s second leading receiver but I liked what I saw more from him on defense. Josh currently holds offers from Mount Union and Kentucky Christian and I can see him developing into a very productive player on either side of the ball in college.
