2023 DB Bryce Thornton

He is a good player. I watched his film. He has good size, with proper coaching could be a good player in college.

Historically, Lagrange High had the better football team (although we did beat them my senior year lol). Troup came up years after I graduated. Lagrange High won the NATIONAL championship back in 91 (91-92 school year). Finally broke the curse and beat Valdosta and then Colquitt Co to win state. I think Lagrange was like number 3 in the nation and then the 1st and 2nd ranked teams both lost in the playoffs.

True. The old head in me kinda doesn't give them the props that they probably deserve because by that time they were no longer in the top classification in GA. LOL I'll say this though. That **** Tray Blackmon was a beast. Dude went to Auburn, couldn't stay out of trouble, had difficulty grasping the defense, and STILL made plays!

I was at Grayson in the early 2000’s and we hated playing those teams, LaGrange, Colquitt, etc.

Yessir.

JT actually made it to the NFL. He was real sticky in coverage and if he picked it was taking for a pick 6. I would compare JT to a Brandon Harris with slightly more athleticism.

Crawley was on the team the year before i came. I know who your speaking on though. I was there for my freshman year before the school imploded..JT was a sr when i was a freshman.
A few of my freshman class went on to play FBS and against UM as some of them went to GA Tech and other schools.

MB got me on the visit...they were filming the movie DRUMLINE and the women....plus iw as going to play against BCU and FAMU yearly.I had "bigger" offers but was sold on living in Atlanta and being lowkey...i had offers from UCF and USF before their true come up. Ive always been partial to Jim Leavitt...mans offered me an his office was a trailer.
