Thornton Gentry brings size, versatility, and proven starting experience to App State’s offensive line
A 6-foot-4, 305-pound junior, Thornton Gentry has already shown he can be a reliable, movable piece up front, starting at both guard and tackle for Appalachian State and helping anchor a 2023 offense that allowed only 15 sacks in the Sun Belt regular season. He appeared in nine games with four starts in 2024 after making nine starts in 14 games in 2023, and his value is in versatility, toughness, and line continuity rather than flashy stats. He looks like a strong fit for teams that want an experienced, adaptable OL with real game reps and a steady, low-drama profile.[1][3]
