Jimmy Horn Jr. has high hopes for the upcoming football season. Despite being the only Buffs skill player to start every game last year and leading the team with six receiving touchdowns, Horn believes he has even more potential to showcase. He may have finished second in catches and third in receiving yards, but to him, that's not good enough. He's determined to improve and make his senior year the best one yet.
Reflecting on his performance last year, Horn acknowledges that he had a pretty decent year, but he had higher expectations for himself that he didn't quite achieve. He's motivated to work harder and achieve his goals for his final year, much like his senior year of high school when he didn't receive any offers. He's focused on showing off his speed and eliminating his mistakes, aiming for only two drops or less. In addition, he has his sights set on reaching 1,000 receiving yards and scoring 10 touchdowns. Horn also wants to establish himself as a top threat as a kick returner.
It's been a while since CU had a 1,000-yard receiver, with Laviska Shenault Jr. being the last one to hit that mark in 2018. With quarterback Shedeur Sanders also returning after a record-breaking season, the Buffs have a strong chance of having at least one 1,000-yard receiver this fall. But for Horn, his ultimate goal is to play in the League. He has backup plans, but right now, his focus is on making it to the NFL. He believes his speed alone can get him there, and he's determined to showcase his abilities on the field.
Horn reflects on last season and feels that he didn't have many opportunities to showcase his speed. He's confident in his abilities to catch slants and take them to the end zone, but he didn't have many opportunities to do so last year. This season, he hopes to change that and make the most out of his speed and skills.
As he enters his second year at CU, Horn has the opportunity to emerge as Shedeur Sanders' top weapon. The Buffs have also added two impact pass-catchers through the transfer portal, LaJohntay Wester and Will Sheppard. With these additions, Sanders and Horn are optimistic about their potential for a significant statistical increase. They both believe that CU didn't fully utilize Horn's speed last year and are excited to see what he can do under the new offensive coordinator.
Off the field, Horn has a lot on his mind as well. His father, Jimmy Horn, is currently incarcerated on drug convictions in Florida. Despite this, Horn remains positive and focused, thanks to the bond he shares with his father. They often talk on the phone, and their conversations are centered on positivity. Horn is emotionally, mentally, and physically strong, thanks to the way he was raised. He knows that no matter what happens, he'll always be okay. He's grateful for his circumstances and chooses to focus on the positives in life.
As the Buffs gear up for the upcoming season, there are many uncertainties. Will Horn's teammates match his determination to get the team back to a bowl game? Is he a game-changing talent or just an undersized wide receiver with speed? Will the offensive line give Sanders enough time to connect with Horn and help him achieve his goals? While there are many question marks, Horn is confident that his hard work and determination will make a difference. He believes that if he plays up to his potential, everything else will fall into place.
In the end, Horn is excited for the upcoming season and the opportunity to showcase his skills. He's determined to make it his best year yet and help the Buffs succeed under head coach Deion Sanders. Whether it's on the field or off, Horn remains positive and focused, ready to face any challenges that come his way. With his speed and skills, he's confident that he can make a significant impact and help the Buffs reach their goals.
