Another one of the Colorado Buffaloes standouts, Jimmy Horn Jr., has received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, scheduled from Feb. 27 to March 2, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
This comes after the wide receiver decided to skip the East-West Shrine Bowl, and several teams are heavily interested in the young star.
NFL Fans React as Jimmy Horn Jr. Receives Invite to Combine
The NFL Scouting Combine gives athletes the opportunity to show their elite skills in front of teams ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the invite, Horn joins LaJohntay Wester, who will also be in Indianapolis, to give his best foot forward in front of scouts.
The wide receiver took to Instagram and shared the news, with several going to the comments section to voice their reactions. While some were sharing their well wishes, others were predicting which team would draft Horn in the summer.
“Congratulations, sir; you’ve earned it… Sko Buffs,” one fan commented.
“Jimmy, you are a Pittsburgh Steelers,” another wrote.
“You are welcomed in Chicago 🙌,” another added.
“Well deserved,” another commented.
The reactions continued to pour in.
“Let’s Go 5!!!!👏🏾👏🏾 Congratulations!! You definitely deserve it!” one fan wrote.
“This guy is going to be an elite WR in the league,” another commented.
“U worked for it, young king🤞🏾🖤” another added.
Horn’s NFL Draft Projections
Horn enters the 2025 NFL Draft after four seasons of college football. He spent his first two seasons with the University of South Florida and the final two seasons under Coach Prime’s Buffaloes.
Over four seasons, Horn has amassed 162 receptions for 1,967 yards and 11 touchdowns. His ability to stretch the field is evident in his yards-per-catch averages, peaking at 14.9 in 2022.
Horn’s draft stock varies among analysts, but nearly all projections view him as a Day 3 prospect — ranging from Round 5 to Round 7. Some, like CBS’ Josh Edwards, rank him as high as No. 141 overall, while others, like College Football Network, have him all the way down at 221.
Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been linked to Horn in mock drafts. Nevertheless, the NFL Combine will be another opportunity for him to raise his draft stock. Given his track and field record, there will be added advantages for Horn at the event.
