One of veteran members of Boise State’s defensive line won’t suit up again for the Broncos this season.
The program announced Friday that a knee injury that senior defensive tackle Tyler Horn suffered in the season opener against Ole Miss will keep him out for the rest of the year. However, because he never used his redshirt, Horn will return for his fifth year in 2015.
According to the Idaho Statesman, Horn injured the knee in the second half and was seen with a “large knee brace on the sideline.”
“(Horn’s) had that leadership role,” Caldwell said. “He’s been around here for a while. Then those other guys just have to step up if (Horn) can’t play.”
His status was unknown throughout the week, but defensive line coach Steve Caldwell named sophomore Sam McCaskill and defensive end Beau Martin as Horn’s possible replacements on the inside.
The 6-foot-5, 273-pound Horn has played in 34 games, starting nine, in his Boise State career. Including his four tackles and one sack against Ole Miss this year, Horn has registered 78 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks as a Bronco.
A native of Meridian, Idaho, Horn was a three-star recruit and Rivals rated him as the second-best recruit in Idaho the class of 2010.
