Sam Horn’s college football debut was abruptly cut short during Missouri’s match against Central Arkansas after just an impromptu appearance. Horn was intended to follow Beau Pribula into play during Missouri’s opening drive but instead made an early entrance instead, only to suffer an injury during a quarterback run after only making six yards forward progress.
Horn’s debut as an SEC athlete began disastrously when he took a heavy hit during practice that necessitated medical assistance on the field. “Sam Horn came in for play at Mizzou and took an unfortunate hit to his lower legs requiring immediate medical assistance on-field before eventually having to be helped off by trainers, prompting media on site reporting this unsettling start in SEC action for this athlete.”
The incident had everyone worried at Columbia, especially considering Horn’s promising career. Standing tall at 6-foot-4, Horn had previously attracted attention from the Dodgers in July’s MLB Draft, despite having a limited college baseball innings record due to recovery from Tommy John surgery.
With no clear updates on his condition, fans and spectators alike were left in suspense regarding the extent of Horn’s injury. “Chris Gervino reports from the Mizzou sideline there’s no official update yet on the status of Sam Horn, who left after an apparent leg injury in the first quarter,” stated Mizzou Radio, adding to the concern for Horn’s wellbeing.
Beau Pribula kept Missouri on track, contributing to their early lead with a 49-yard throw to Marquis Johnson and setting Blake Craig up for an unassailable 49-yard field goal from Blake Craig. Unfortunately, Missouri’s 9-0 lead overshadowed its progression.
