CSU Rams lose Tory Horton for the season

Tory Horton has played his final game at Colorado State. The program announced on Monday night that after sustaining an injury in the win over San Jose State, the star wide receiver will go through a procedure that ends his season.

“This will end the career of the two-time captain and one the best players in Colorado State and Mountain West history,” Jay Norvell said via press release.

“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.”

In the same release, Horton issued the following statement:

“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!”

Horton was a first-team all-conference selection in each of the past two seasons. He had 193 catches for 2,620 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns with the Green & Gold. He also threw a touchdown and returned two punts for scores.

Horton is undoubtedly one of the best receivers in school history. He is a a major loss for CSU offense that started to hit its stride with him back in the lineup.
