What's Happening?
Sam Horn, recently drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, is also vying for the starting quarterback position at the University of Missouri. Horn, a 6-foot-4 right-hander, was selected in the 17th round of the MLB draft and has shown potential as both a pitcher and a quarterback. Despite undergoing Tommy John surgery, Horn's athletic build and pitching skills have kept him in the spotlight. Missouri's football team is currently evaluating Horn and Penn State transfer Beau Pribula for the starting quarterback role, with Horn set to play in the second half of the season opener against Central Arkansas.
Why It's Important?
Horn's dual-sport capabilities present a unique situation for both the Dodgers and Missouri's football team. His decision between pursuing a career in baseball or football could significantly impact his future and the teams involved. For the Dodgers, Horn's potential as a pitcher is promising, but his commitment to football could alter their plans. Missouri's football team benefits from Horn's athleticism, but his indecision may affect team dynamics and strategy. The outcome of this decision will be closely watched by both sports communities.
What's Next?
Missouri's coach Eli Drinkwitz has yet to decide on a permanent starting quarterback, leaving the position open for competition. Horn's performance in the upcoming games will be crucial in determining his future in football. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are monitoring Horn's progress, hoping he will eventually commit to baseball. The decision will likely depend on Horn's success and preference in the coming months.
