Quavel Thornton brings veteran speed and reliable slot savvy to Morgan State
Thornton’s calling card is quickness: at 5-foot-7, he gives Morgan State a compact, slippery receiver who can separate and turn short catches into useful gains. In the 2025 season, he recorded 20 receptions for 174 yards and 0 touchdowns, with a long catch of 28 yards, and he also had a 19-yard reception noted in Morgan State’s 2025 team stats[3][7]. Morgan State lists him as a redshirt senior in 2026, and a spring report highlighted his optimism and the value of his experience in the receiver room[1][13]. He looks like a fit for a team needing mature route-running, toughness, and depth rather than pure size.
