South Carolina football’s Jaycee Horn is the top DB in the SEC.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn put on a show in last Saturday’s upset win over No. 15 Auburn. The junior pulled in the first two interceptions of his career, and locked down the Tigers’ top receiver Seth Williams.

Horn held the talented pass catcher to just four receptions on 13 total targets, and the Gamecock offense was able to cash in touchdowns on both of his takeaways. His play was the difference in the eight-point win, as he made Williams and quarterback Bo Nix uncomfortable all day long.
