young Wofford LB with size, pedigree, and room to climb
A 6-foot-2, 235-pound sophomore linebacker for Wofford in 2026, Jake Thorner brings SEC-style frame, strong tackling production from Walton High School, and clear upside as a physical, downhill defender. Wofford’s roster and stat pages list him as an active part of the linebacker room, but public college stat lines are still light, so the appeal is more projection than production right now. If you want a tough, high-motor linebacker who looks built to handle contact and develop quickly, Thorner is a name to watch.
