Growing up a Clemson fan, it took Ray Thornton a mere 24 hours to commit to the Tigers after receiving the offer he’s been waiting on.
The 2019 3-star Phenix City (AL) Central safety talked to Dabo Swinney Thursday evening when Clemson’s head coach personally extended a scholarship and from there, it was a matter of when Thornton would commit.
Thornton is the 18th member of Clemson’s 2019 recruiting class – the third commitment in the last 24 hours. He joins Joseph Charleston, Sheridan Jones, and Lannden Zanders as defensive back commits for this recruiting cycle.
