Samuel Horn (born August 21, 2003) is an American college football quarterback for the Missouri Tigers. He is also a baseball pitcher in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.
Early life
Horn attended Collins Hill High School in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Coming out of high school, he was rated as a four-star recruit, where he committed to play college football and college baseball for the Missouri Tigers.[1]
College football career
Horn took a redshirt in 2022. He saw limited playing time as the backup quarterback in 2023, completing three of his five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown and an interception, before missing the entirety of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.[2][3] Heading into the 2025 season, he competed for the starting quarterback job with Penn State transfer Beau Pribula.[4][5] After competing through the spring and summer, both Horn and Pribula played in the team's opener against Central Arkansas with no starter announced.[6][7] While scheduled to start the second half, Horn took the field for one trick play during the first half for a 6 yard run and had his tibia broken by defensive back Dude Person. Horn subsequently underwent surgery and was declared out for the remainder of the season, with Pribula continuing the game and assuming the starting role.
Baseball career
During his three year career, Horn pitched in just 15 innings with five starts, after suffering through arm injuries, requiring Tommy John surgery.[8] After his collegiate career he was selected in the 17th round with the 525th overall pick in the 2025 Major League Baseball draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he signed with the organization.[9]
