South Carolina defensive coordinator Travaris Robinson had had only a couple practices with freshman defensive back Jaycee Horn.
The Atlanta product and son of former NFL Pro Bowler Joe Horn has shown a range of skills that might serve him well sooner rather than later.
“He’s got good length,” Robinson said. “He has good pedigree. He’s a guy that’s very confident in his abilities, and rightfully so. He’s a talented young man.”
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound corner was a four-star prospect out of high school. In his first practice, he appeared to be working with the second group on defense, behind a set of seniors who appear poised to start once the season commences.
