Jimmy Horn Jr., a key player in Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver room, has been fully committed to the team, demonstrating his dedication both on and off the field.
Despite facing challenges such as an injury during the Kansas State game, Horn has made significant comebacks with strong performances against the Arizona Wildcats and Cincinnati Bearcats.
While Horn’s athletic prowess is clear, a rumor in July suggested he was dating actress, Sydney Sweeney, diverting attention away from his sports achievements. The rumor quickly spread, prompting speculation about a potential high-profile relationship akin to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
However, Coach Pollock recently shared an Instagram clip where Horn addressed and humorously dismissed these rumors, stating, “I don’t know who that is. I recently found out when they dropped that.” Adding to the rumor’s improbability, it was noted that Sweeney is already engaged.
With these rumors behind him, Horn is now free to focus on contributing to the Buffaloes’ impressive turnaround under Coach Sanders.

Coach Prime’s Playoff Aspirations
The 2024 season under Deion Sanders marks a significant shift for Colorado, achieving a 6-2 start for the first time since 2018, securing a bowl game slot, and entering the AP Polls—an accomplishment few anticipated.
Comparing Colorado with football powerhouses like Alabama and Georgia highlights the substantial progress under Sanders’ leadership.
Despite this, some analysts on ESPN remain skeptical about Sanders’ ability to lead the team to the College Football Playoffs (CFP). Yet, the Buffaloes’ resilience is evident. Following a tough loss to Kansas State, they secured consecutive victories, driven by stellar performances from Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
As the team continues to show strength in defense and agility in offense, maintaining this momentum could realistically place them in the CFP with a potential 10-2 finish.
While a national championship may not be anticipated just yet, transforming from a 1-11 record to playoff contenders would mark one of the most dramatic revivals in college football history.
As Jimmy Horn Jr. and the Buffs focus on their objectives, their story has evolved from doubt to optimism. With Horn excelling on the field and Deion Sanders at the helm, Colorado is demonstrating that achieving the improbable may indeed be possible.
