COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Congratulations to John Thornton II from St. Anne-Pacelli on signing to Alabama football as a preferred walk-on.

The senior linebacker for the Vikings was the captain of the football and basketball teams and served as the Student Council President.

“Pacelli has been a family is the least I can say. It’s an understatement actually. They’ve given me love and support ever since I moved back down here from Tennessee,” Thornton said about Pacelli. “They always helped me out in every way I needed it.”
