One of the quicker players with a 6-5 frame that you’ll see made an announcement over the weekend, dropping his potential future schools down to 12 and the good news for Notre Dame fans is that Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish have made the cut.
Dont’e Thornton is viewed as one of the best receivers in the 2021 class, getting a four-star grade from 247Sports while they also rank him the seventh best receiver in the entire country.
Thornton has offers from all over the country, 27 in total. He announced this weekend the 12 he is still considering.

An interesting top-12 with some real blue bloods joining Notre Dame like Michigan, Florida State, LSU, Oregon, Penn State and LSU and then a few close to home for the Baltimore, Maryland product with Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina also making the list.
The real wild card seems to be Arizona State, but who would blame a young man for wanting to make a college visit for Tempe? Didn’t think so.
Stay tuned as we’ll keep you posted on anything that happens with Thornton or anything else on the recruiting front for that matter.
