Esley Thorton

[DjKyRo]

Haha go braves! But he is gonna be a champ. Apparently the BHS football team plays the dirtiest in that conference per a player from last year that faced them (i mean cheap shots ala punches etc). However this was not about thorton it was about other teammembers.

Nothing beats beating them in 2008 after one of their players threw a Century player off a dog pile and got whistled for 15 yards which led to the deciding score.

Great article here:

quote: Mandan basketball coach Jason Horner said as much following the championship game. "Esley is a champion," Horner noted. "He finds way to win. He wanted the ball in his hands the whole time."

After reading that I believe that the Bison have recruited a special talent, a difference maker!!

Thorton will be a great safety for the bison

wow if that article doesnt get you pumped about havin this kid as a bison, you got problems

imho, if Thorton were a twin cities recruit everybody would be saying we stole him from the Big 10.

i think its one of those times where we got lucky he was a played from north dakota...if he were a cities recruit or from texas, florida, etc.....he would not be a bison, he woulda had some big programs lookin at him i think

Maybe to play safety, not qb.

I'm not sure if he is fast enough to be a safety in FCS. I could be wrong. Hard to say since I've never seen his 40 time and he doesnt run track that I know of. State champ in the javelin.

I really dont care who is are qb i am just hoping that after a year as a redshirt that Brock jensen will be hard to beat.......big strong armed kid! with a year headstart on thorton..........nothing against esley thorton just hoping jensen wins the job this year and gives the program 4 years of stability
