Statements from Colorado State Coach Jay Norvell and Wide Receiver Tory Horton
Statement from Head Coach Jay Norvell on the status of Wide Receiver Tory Horton
“I am very sad to announce that Tory Horton will undergo a season-ending procedure from an injury sustained in our game against San José State and will not return this season.
This will end the career of the two-time captain and one the best players in Colorado State and Mountain West history. He was on the brink of accomplishing several career milestones at CSU and the Mountain West, including just 35 yards short of becoming the all-time Mountain West receiving yards leader.
His injury is season ending, but he will fully recover and have his chance at the next level with the National Football League.
I am appreciative of Tory’s loyalty to the staff and for his sacrifice and leadership to CSU.”
Statement from Wide Receiver Tory Horton
“After suffering an injury against San José State, my season and college career are unfortunately over, but this is not the end.
I will continue to be the ultimate teammate and captain for this team and will do whatever I can to help make this a memorable season.
I will forever cherish my time playing at Colorado State and wearing the Green and Gold. Thank you to my teammates, coaches and fans for all the love and support.
A goal of mine has always been to play on Sundays, and I will make that happen.
Go Rams!”
