NORMAN — Cade Horton was sporting a blue jersey as he scooped up the low snap and fired a perfect strike to a Norman receiver to little fanfare from those on the field.
He was a normal high school quarterback opening practice Monday morning like hundreds of others around Oklahoma. But the Tigers' young star has recently earned extra attention.
Horton is a junior at Norman High School, a supremely gifted shortstop blessed with a golden arm that carries over well on the football field. He has been committed to Ole Miss for baseball since his freshman year, but he wants to play both sports.
