Joining Tillman in Cleveland will be quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who was selected by the Browns at No. 140. Thompson-Robinson backed-up 2016 High School Football America National Player of the Year Tate Martell until his senior season in 2017.

During his time waiting in the wings, DTR played wide receiver for the Gaels. Below you can watch Thompson-Robinson catch two touchdowns in BG’s big win over St. John Bosco (California), in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in the national rankings in 2016.

The third Bishop Gorman player selected was cornerback Kyu Blue Kelly by the Baltimore Ravens at No. 157. Kelly was considered a 3-star prospect.
