After his first season with Angelina College, Sawyre Thornhill had just committed to South Carolina, one of the top college baseball programs in the country. It was a dream fit for Thornhill but it soon turned into a nightmare situation.
With the canceled spring season in 2020 due to COVID-19, South Carolina had more players slated to come back than anticipated. Which left Thornhill without a spot on the roster and out of options.
With most Division-I programs in a similar roster situation, Thornhill decided to return to the junior college level but this time at a new school.
