Colorado Buffaloes wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. is taking a giant leap toward the NFL, and Deion Sanders Jr. couldn’t be prouder. After receiving an invitation to the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, Horn shared the exciting news on Instagram.

The Alamo Bowl loss to the Cougars may have stung, but moments like this shine brighter. Horn’s invitation to the Combine is a golden opportunity to show his talent in front of NFL scouts.

This could go a long way in the $138K valued Horn Jr.’s career. NFL rules state that combine participants must be draft-eligible. The 2025 NFL draft awaits, and the young star will look to make his presence felt. As usual, the NFL Combine is in Indianapolis from February 27 to March 2.

The 22-year-old Florida native played high school football at Seminoles High School. The three-star wide receiver was one of the surprise packages who shot up the ranks at Coach Prime's Colorado this year.

Deion Sanders Jr. takes dig at Travis Hunter's attire

Travis Hunter may have walked away with the Heisman Trophy, but his pre-ceremony fashion choice became a hot topic of conversation. Hunter turned heads with his bold baby blue suit, matching pants, a white turtleneck, and white sneakers.

It was a statement look that drew plenty of reactions, including a hilarious jab from Deion Sanders Jr., Coach Prime’s eldest son, who couldn’t resist commenting on Hunter’s attire when he spotted it in the star’s hotel room.

“Dumb a** suit,” he joked. [02:44]

Hunter’s suit even earned comparisons to a moment similar to Colorado coach Deion Sanders.

Hunter posted a photo with his outfit on the floor. Fans immediately connected the scene to Sanders’ legendary pre-Super Bowl XXIX photo, in which his San Francisco 49ers jersey was laid out in a similar manner before he secured the championship.

The moment added to the hype surrounding the event and showed the close-knit bond in the Colorado football program.
