It’s not a lie when Coach Prime says he treats his team as his family. He consistently expresses a fatherly emotion towards his team. Following his nature, Deion Sanders made a heartfelt gesture for Jimmy Horn Jr.’s birthday, leaving him very emotional. Let’s find out what made Jimmy emotional on his special day.

Today, The Well Of Media featured the Colorado Buffs’ talented wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr.’s birthday celebration.

Deion Sanders asked Jimmy what he wanted for his birthday, to which Jimmy replied, “I got what I want, Got Life About 100.” Horn appeared quite emotional as he expressed himself, and Coach Prime’s affectionate gesture added to the sentiment.

However, to cheer up Jimmy, Coach Prime added what he plans on giving him for his birthday, saying, “Well, we got to help him get a dub. We got to help him get a win, and if we help him win, we can play a role in that.” “Y’all help me give Jimmy that for his birthday, all right?” Deion Sanders consistently finds ways to inspire his team and make them feel valued. Well, Jimmy Horn Jr. needs this support following his family crises. This year is heavy on his heart, as his father is in prison for drug-related issues. Despite everything, Coach Prime has always believed in Horn Jr. He consistently had faith in his gaming skills and stood by him through difficult moments. It turns out that Deion was correct in trusting Jimmy, as he performed exceptionally well in their season opener match against North Dakota.

Jimmy Horn Jr season opener performance

Even after dealing with a lot of misery, Jimmy Horn Jr. shined bright this season. Horn achieved his career’s best performance this year playing against the North Dakota Bison. Horn ran for 198 yards, receiving seven catches. However, the breathtaking moment was his 69-yard touchdown catch, resulting in an impressive 31-26 win.

However, last season also, Jimmy Jr. achieved his career high of 11 catches running for 117 yards with one touchdown, resulting in a victory over the Horned Frogs. While talking with the media, Jimmy mentioned his mantra for success, saying “Outside of practice, just watch films” and then keep the good field work going.

This Saturday, we’ll find out if this approach is successful for him before the Colorado Buffs face off against their archrivals, The Rams. What are your thoughts on that?
