Thornton, who finished his Ohio State career with a school record 2,164 points, made 40% of his 3-point shots this past season while averaging 19.9 points per game, the highest single-season scoring average for a Buckeye since Evan Turner averaged 20.4 points per game in 2009-10.
His competition for the collegiate 3-point crown will consist of High Point’s Chase Johnston, Texas Tech’s Donovan Atwell, Oklahoma State’s Anthony Roy, SMU’s Boopie Miller and Samford’s Jadin Booth.
Thornton is the second Buckeye in three years to participate in the College 3-Point Championship, as Jamison Battle competed in the 2024 edition of the event, which also includes a women’s 3-point championship and a slam dunk contest.
