Nearly three decades later, a gap in Joe Horn’s otherwise successful football career closed. It was National Signing Day and he got to wear garnet and black.
Horn was an NFL wide receiver for 12 seasons, totaling 603 catches, 8,744 yards and 58 touchdowns. He represented the New Orleans Saints four times in the Pro Bowl.
On Wednesday, though, he had “Carolina” across his chest and a Gamecocks lanyard hanging from his neck. The 45-year-old isn’t part of Will Muschamp’s 2018 recruiting class. That title goes to his son, Jaycee.
To say Dad got nostalgic Wednesday at Alpharetta High School would be an understatement.
