"The Dodgers not only offered Horn $347,500 over that threshold, but allowed him to continue playing football at the University of Missouri this fall as part of their agreement. He was part of a quarterback battle that carried into Mizzou's season opener, that for Horn ended immediately due to an apparent right leg injury on his first play. Horn laid on the ground before being helped by the trainers to the medical tent and locker room after suffering his injury."
"Horn underwent an MRI in the ensuing days, though details of the results were not made public. Horn was in a competition for the Tigers' starting quarterback job, and that extended into the first game of their season. Horn was expected to split time with Beau Pribula in the Tigers' season-opener on Thursday. Unfortunately for Horn, his opportunity ended just as it began. On Horn's first play, he ran a designed quarterback draw that resulted in an injury to his knee."
Sam Horn was selected by the Dodgers in the 17th round and received a $497,500 signing bonus, including $347,500 over the post-10th-round threshold, while being permitted to continue playing football at the University of Missouri. Horn entered a quarterback competition that carried into the season opener but suffered an apparent right leg/knee injury on his first play and did not return. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz said Horn will miss an extended period and declined to provide specifics. Horn underwent an MRI, and he previously had Tommy John surgery after a 2023 elbow injury, returning to strike out 14 in 10.2 innings this April.
