Tory Horton had a solid combine performance after battling injuries in his 5th year and being wildly productive in his Junior and Senior seasons.
Horton gained over 2,200 receiving yards during his third and fourth years in college, while injuries limited him to only 5 games in his fifth year. Horton shared during combine interviews that continuing to gain weight and getting his degree were reasons he didn’t declare for the draft in previous years.
At the Combine, Horton came in measuring 6’2″, 196 lbs. His 40-yard dash time of 4.41 and 37.5″ vertical are both impressive marks for his size, earning him a 9.4 RAS score. The craziest part is that he did all this after undergoing surgery for a season-ending knee injury suffered in October 2024. It’s safe to say Horton will only continue to improve on his athleticism as he has more time to recover.
Horton will not be a wildly talked about player leading up to the draft, but he was the heart and soul of CSU’s offense when healthy, even with defenses keying in on shutting him down. Fantasy Managers should look into Horton’s tape from 2022 and 2023 and be aware of the potential he has to be a sleeper at the next level.
