After receiving his dream offer from Clemson on Thursday, it didn’t take Ray Thornton long to make his college decision.
The Phenix City (Ala.) Central defensive back announced his verbal commitment to Clemson on Friday afternoon.
“It’s always been my dream school growing up,” Thornton told The Clemson Insider shortly after the announcement. “Even though I didn’t have that offer, it still was one of my top schools because I’ve had a relationship with the coaches for a while now.
“So when I found out I had the offer, I knew that was the place.”
Thornton first informed Todd Bates, his area recruiter for Clemson, of his decision on Friday.
