MORNING GOODS — Even Texas A&M University, where model Ryan Craven attends, realizes the handsome treasure they’ve got on their hands: the school used him in a promo shoot for its visitor center.

My, such tasteful, modest and well-done photos. Safe, too. I’m almost embarrassed to peek at his nipples! As first queer out on this one, let’s see how long it takes for me to be thumbed off.
Very tame set, but at least he’s good looking and doesn’t send you away shaking your head like Wednesday and Thursday.
At the risk of tempting more disaster, what happened to the occasional afternoon “Gratuitous Skin” sets that often apologized for the mediocre mornings?
He looks “normal” – approachable, like I might have a chance of pulling him into my boudoir. Most of the other models featured here look like I’d need George Rekers’ Visa card.
It’s Seattle in the first photo looking at downtown across Lake Union from Gasworks Park. Thanks for using this location. A great place to be on warm days and the evening view is even better.
I actually think this is the hottest guy that’s been featured on these photo things in a long time. He’s not chiseled like a greek god. But I think that’s what I like. there’s more of a realism to him, like you could actually see this guy, as he appears in the pictures walking down the street. I’ve always been more attracted to real looking guys than the ones that seem perfect but only by way of photoshop and other tricks. and this ends my mindless rant.
He’s incredibly hot, but God, the entire photoshoot is sooo boring. Lots of stuff they could have done to make it interesting without nudity. This was too tame, the guy’s wasted on it.

fredo777
I like #17 + #10
declanto
@fredo777: #10, I am absolutely queer for blue eyes and dark hair.
wmcarpenter
It’s all pretty tame stuff, #5 looks fun though.
Mich
Handsome but boring. I couldn’t make it through all of the pics — almost fell asleep.

Don’t be jealous….nobody would kick him out of bed….
Jason
Some nice Texas stuff, there.
Couldn´t Care Less
Yaaaawwwwnnnnn!!!!! Z Z Z Z ZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZ
Scot
Does anybody else think he looks like Luke MacFarlane? He’s very cute and obviously over 17.
Thanks for getting back on track.
fredo777
@Scot: Yes! I spotted the resemblance, too, but wanted to wait until someone else brought it up. lol
NAP79
Cute boy, ridiculous haircut. What’s the deal w/ guys wanting a Kate Gosselin hair-don’t?!?!
EdWoody
@Scot: Exactly, yes. I think he’s delicious.
gray hunt
sort of odd photos and model…and…sure aint Texas in the lead shot. Toronto? Seattle?

He looks “normal” – approachable, like I might have a chance of pulling him into my boudoir. Most of the other models featured here look like I’d need George Rekers’ Visa card.

The first picture is at GasWorks park in Seattle. For some reason.

My, the genetic lottery is really incredibly unfair sometimes…

mudgeboy
Yup, I agree with @notreallyhere247, he’s adorable. Love the blues.
James
hot
Khaymyn
(#14) why is he holding the tennis racquet like a baseball bat?
AshNYC
Guys like him are the reason I left the mid-west….Wonderbread boy!
Bryan
He’s incredibly hot, but God, the entire photoshoot is sooo boring. Lots of stuff they could have done to make it interesting without nudity. This was too tame, the guy’s wasted on it.
bumblebeetuna
He’s actually really pretty in real life, but his personality blows.
Aiden
He’s cute.
Stephen
Poor guy. Think Ashley from A-List Dallas must have shot these. Hopefully he gets a better photographer next time.
Wholly Mary
How many tired, jaded, unhappy, self-loathing queens does it take to trash a model they’d never have a chance to get or to be?
Tom
right?! Also, I bet “bumblebeetuna” probably just got rejected by him lol.
Untouchable
He has a fan page on Facebook. He is a lot more attractive than these pictures give him credit for. His smile is unbelievable. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ryan-Craven/88213697899
