AT COLORADO: This Season (Fr.)-Projected as a tight end his true freshman year in college.
HIGH SCHOOL-As a senior, he was widely considered to be one of the top tight ends out of the state of Texas. SuperPrep ranked him as the No. 3 tight end and the No. 87 player overall in the state, while Rivals ranked him the No. 31 tight end nationally (No. 2 in Texas) and the No. 79 player overall from Texas; Scout.com tabbed him the No. 61 tight end in the country. He was named first-team 5A All-State and was the only tight end listed on the 5A Texas Football All-Texas team. He earned first-team All-5A District 11 and first-team All-Mesquite Independent School District accolades. He played wide receiver as a sophomore and began the transition to tight end his junior year after Horn had two players at the position go on to college ball. In his career, he had 72 catches for 926 yards and two touchdowns, with much of those numbers coming his senior season (49 for 598 and the two TDs). Top games included: eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in a 16-3 win over North Mesquite; five receptions for 92 yards against Central Highland in a 20-0 win; and in a loss to DeSoto, four key passes for first downs and one of his best games as a blocker. As a junior, he caught 16 passes for 214 yards, with his top game against North Mesquite in a 49-21 win (six catches for 80 yards). As a sophomore, he caught seven passes for 114 yards. He also lettered four times in basketball, averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game as a senior. He was invited to participate in an AAU All-American camp in Las Vegas the summer prior to his senior year.
ACADEMICS-He is majoring in Communication at Colorado.
PERSONAL-He was born December 8, 1993 in Dallas. He enjoys playing basketball and video games in his spare time. He has participated in several community service projects including several helping younger kids.
