Masiah Thorne brings senior depth and ball-hawking upside to Howard’s secondary
Thorne is a 6-foot-2 senior defensive back whose value is more about reliability and range than splashy box-score production, with Howard listing him as active and ESPN crediting him with 13 tackles and 1 pass breakup in 2025.[1][6] He has a defensive-back build, experience at the college level, and a profile that suggests he can help in coverage and run support, while his earlier high-school production shows he has long had a nose for the ball.[7][10] If you want a steady, seasoned DB who can fit into multiple coverage looks and compete physically, Thorne is a sensible fit.[1][6]
