Jimmy Horn Jr. has been a crucial part of Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes WR room, and his commitment to the team has been evident both on and off the field.
Despite dealing with setbacks, including an injury during the Kansas State game, Horn bounced back with standout performances against the Arizona Wildcats and Cincinnati Bearcats.
While his skills on the turf are undeniable, a July rumor took attention off the field when a random news outlet claimed Horn was dating Sydney Sweeney.
The buzz surrounding Horn and Swinney quickly gained traction, with some fans wondering if this pairing could become the college football equivalent of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
However, in a recent Instagram clip shared by Coach Pollock, Horn squashed the rumors once and for all.
"I don't know who that is. I recently found out when they dropped that," Horn clarified, humorously debunking the fabricated story. To add to the absurdity, Swinney is already happily engaged, making the rumor all the more implausible.
With the gossip laid to rest, Horn can now focus entirely on what matters most: helping the Buffs continue their remarkable turnaround under Coach Prime.
Coach Prime's Playoff Aspirations
The Buffs' 2024 season under Deion Sanders has been nothing short of groundbreaking.
For the first time since 2018, Colorado boasts a stellar 6-2 start, securing a spot in the Bowl games and making their way onto the AP Polls-a feat few could have predicted.
Rubbing shoulders with giants like Alabama and Georgia is a testament to how far Sanders has brought the team in such a short time.
Still, doubters linger. On ESPN, analysts debated whether Sanders could lead Colorado to the College Football Playoffs (CFP). While skepticism remains, the team's resilience cannot be overlooked.
After a crushing loss to Kansas State, Colorado rebounded with back-to-back wins, fueled by standout performances from Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
The defense has stepped up, and the offense continues to thrive under pressure.
If the Buffs maintain their momentum and finish with a 10-2 record, a CFP spot could be well within reach.
While no one expects them to clinch a national championship just yet, the turnaround from a 1-11 season to playoff contention would be one of the greatest achievements in college football history.
As Jimmy Horn Jr. and the Buffs stay laser-focused on their goals, the team's narrative has shifted from skepticism to hope.
With Horn leading on the field and Deion Sanders steering the ship, Colorado is proving that the impossible might just be possible.
