Out of Langston Hughes High School (Fairburn, Georgia), Thurman is listed at 6-5, 230 pounds and rated 4-stars, the No. 9 tight end, No. 11 Peach State product and No. 135 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2023 on the 247Sports Composite. After picking up 29 scholarship offers, Thurman narrowed his recruitment down to a final 5 of Ohio State, Michigan State, Alabama, Auburn and Jackson State.
Big, fast, athletic tight end with NFL bloodlines — @jelani3345 gives Ohio State the two-man TE class they’ve been after the last four cycles. He and @TyLockwood7 will be a problem and complement each other’s style so both should be on the field together A LOT.
