ATLANTA — Despite being picked in the MLB draft earlier this week, Missouri quarterback/pitcher Sam Horn remains on track to play football for the Tigers this fall, competing to be the team’s starting quarterback.
Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz confirmed Thursday that he’s been in touch with Horn and his agent throughout the pre-draft process, leaving no confusion within the team facility over Horn’s availability.
“Nothing has changed,” Drinkwitz said. “Sam and I had conversations, we’ve talked to his agent, nothing’s changed that I’ve heard of. I anticipate Sam’s commitment to our football program and our team.”
Horn was picked by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 17th round of the draft.
