Hunter Thorson from Minnesota, serves as a standout professional competitor affiliated with Fish on Target Cornhole. Thorson made his professional debut during the 2023–2024 season and has rapidly ascended through the ranks as a high-caliber player on the national circuit.
Hunter Thorson’s entry into competitive cornhole began at a Friday neighborhood party when a neighbor invited his family over for a local blind draw. Recognized for his natural knack for the game, the neighbor began bringing Thorson along to more tournaments. What started as casual play quickly evolved into a dedicated passion—by age 13, cornhole had become a central focus of his life, driving him to graduate high school early and enter college ahead of schedule to accommodate his rigorous travel and competition schedule.
Since turning pro in the 2023–2024 season, Thorson has proven his capability against the world's elite throwers. In the 2025 season, he earned Top 25 national rankings in both singles and doubles play. Among his career highlights, Thorson points to a memorable team championship victory with the Slingers in Texas—an achievement made even sweeter by sharing the moment alongside close friends. Beyond his personal accolades, he remains deeply committed to giving back to the community as a Special Olympics cornhole coach.
Thorson’s game relies on finesse, control, and technical skill. His primary weapon on the board is the roll shot, allowing him to manipulate board state and navigate obstacles in high-pressure match scenarios. To maintain precision and adaptability across varying conditions, Thorson trusts the Invictus as his go-to bag.
To perform at his peak, Thorson ramps up his practice volume in the week leading into a major event. On match day, he utilizes a tailored mental routine to keep his focus grounded and composure steady, listening to slow, calming music before taking the court.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Thorson has established high expectations for his trajectory. His core objectives include breaking into the top 10 in world doubles play, reaching the top 15 in singles, and securing a major pro bracket victory. He is particularly eager for the upcoming calendar year as he pairs up to play alongside Jacob Harrison.
Thorson places a heavy emphasis on perspective and resilience for rising competitors aiming for the professional stage. Drawing from his own experience navigating the challenges of consistent finishing at major tournaments, he encourages players to keep the game in perspective:
