Scouting Journals for LeVar Thornton Jr.

Lean and lengthy ultra-athletic corner prospect that has a knack for forcing turnovers and shutting down his half of the field. Stands in over 6-foot-1, 165-plus pounds with a 6-foot-4 wingspan. Has a tremendous track and field profile running 22.02 in the 200m, 49.42 in the 400m and jumping an absurd 6-foot-10 high jump during his junior track and field season. Uses his length to his advantage in press man coverage. Does a solid job breaking on the ball and playing through the receiver’s hands. Has some slight hip stiffness, more of a straight line player. High ceiling prospect that can be an immediate contributor at the next level and carve himself out a role as a premier boundary corner.
