After rumors began surfacing that Mizzou quarterback and pitcher Sam Horn suffered an injury in preseason baseball workouts earlier this month, Rock M Nation confirmed a PowerMizzou report that the dual sport star chose to undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his injured UCL ligament in his elbow.
Such a significant surgery will end Horn’s sophomore baseball season before it began and now puts his 2024 football season in serious jeopardy as well.
While pitchers often require 12 months or more to fully recover from Tommy John, quarterbacks may recover from the surgery a bit quicker (say nine months), which still puts Horn into November before he’d be ready to start taking snaps.
