    Steve Wiltfong: Touted dual-threat QB Malik Hornsby touches on top schools

    SAN ANTONIO, Texas - 247Sports No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback Malik Hornsby spent a lot of the weekend inside the Alamo Dome as one of the top prospects already selected to play in next year’s All-American Bowl. “Great experience,” Hornsby said. “I can’t wait till next year.” The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hornsby had a strong junior season. In 11 games he completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,841 yards and 22 touchdowns to just two interceptions. He rushed for another 749 yards and 13 more scores in leading a Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall team that went 15-1.

    As Hornsby’s offer list approaches 20, a few programs are standing out. “A&M of course,” he said. “UT, I’m thinking about starting to look at Georgia a lot. That’s about it for right now that’s on top. I can say Florida State too.” Texas A&M began trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball for Hornsby during the fall. “Oh man, Jimbo Fisher, that’s my guy,” Hornsby said. “It’s a great feeling when I get there and go there. It’s a great feeling anywhere I go but It’s a special feeling when I go there.”

    Hornsby said the important factors going into his college decision include opportunity for playing time and how he’ll be able to adjust to the system when he comes in. “Coach Fisher has developed many great quarterbacks over the years,” Hornsby said. “I think if I do go there I have a chance to be developed into the dude I want to be. Probably better if I go there. The offense that they run, I think I fit best in the offense they run.”

    But Hornsby doesn’t want to rush into any college decision. He talked about the other three programs that have intrigued him. “Florida is Florida,” he said of the Seminoles. “They got goons out there.” Hornsby has been to Tallahassee before. “I liked the atmosphere. The vibe that I get from there.” Georgia is one of Hornsby’s latest offers. “I like Georgia a lot,” he said. “They keep in touch. Georgia they got tradition. I want to come into something that’s kind of made already but make it better.”

    Texas already has a quarterback commit but Hornsby says that’s no problem for him. “You got to play,” he said. “UT is home. I know people that go there already, brothers that I’ve know for awhile.” Hornsby would like to visit Clemson among other places as the process continues. 247Sports bills Washington as the No. 2 recruit in Texas and No. 12 prospect regardless of position.

     

    Hornsby seems destined to end up in a college station flower bed.

    Actually, they did slow him down. The Spur (in Sugar Bowl rain jacket) on Bevo's left, not only grabs his horn to turn his head, but also kicks the women in the black clear of Bevo's path.

    If it we didn't have Dicker, I would be wondering if he had any eligibility left.

    Watch it again and watch Bevos momentum.  His legs never slowed down.  Turning his head is different than stopping Bevo.  If Bevo had wanted to, he could have carried that guy on his horn around the stadium or thrown him in the stands with a flick of his head.  Good thing Bevo is a docile animal. And I’m not sure it was him turning Bevos head as much as it was Bevo trying to gore the dog with his right horn.

  3. His handlers didn’t even slow him down.  Can’t help but think some changes will be made.  Maybe more handlers or maybe putting some blunt cap on the end of those horns.  Would hate to see Bevo wandering around the stadium with a human body part hanging from his horn like Vlad the Impaler.

    When I saw the pictures of his enclosures from earlier, I thought to myself those aren’t gonna stop shit if he says “fuck this, I’m out” .

    No shit.  If I were the handlers I’d get him the hell out of there before he mows down a huge crowd of people.  Can’t speak for cows, but once a horse gets spooked, it takes a while for them to calm down.
