What's this? Kenton Thornton?

[Irish Envy]

A college football/basketball prospect who committed to Texas in 2004, but elected to attend Blair Academy, (Blairstown, N.J.) for a post-graduate season. A very athletic 6-5, 225-pound wideout who has the potential to dominate smaller defensive backs, especially on fade routes and across the middle. May eventually grow into a tight end body and with his 4.6 speed could present DC's with a lot of headaches.

6'5 225... David Nelson's replacement?

Sounds like he wanted to get into a better school then Texas (which is already a fine school). Otherwise, I don't know why he would have done that.

If Texas and Florida both offered, he must be good.

It says he hasn't been offered by ND.

He hasn't... but he also wasn't on the ND radar as of a day or two ago. The fact that he is now is a good indication he has been contacted by the staff.

Sounds to me like Haywood has been playing in his rolodex again. Gotta love it.

Looks good, same height, and speed as nelson, but he's stronger then nelson.

Let nelson walk, I'll take this kid....

Hopefully they can set him up with a visit next week when Weis will be there.
