  Jamahl Horne's days of producing exclusively on special teams for the Kansas football program appear to be a thing of the past. A high-speed kick returner for the Jayhawks each of the past two seasons, Horne showed the type of progress this spring that has KU receivers coach Emmett Jones convinced the 5-foot-10, 186-pound junior is ready to contribute for the offense, too. "I thought Jamahl Horne flashed from a maturity standpoint. He took off. He seemed so confident," Jones said. "The last couple of years, at times you'd see him flash, but he didn't seem quite confident in himself. This spring he just walked around differently." An under the radar recruit out of Miami, Fla., Horne redshirted at KU in 2018 before becoming a factor on kickoff returns in 2019, when he averaged 22.1 yards per return, with a long of 40. Horne followed that up this past fall by averaging 22.6 yards on 15 returns.

Horne long ago began turning heads at KU workouts and practices with his speed. What made his spring displays different this year, Jones related, was how Horne harnessed his specialty and used it to make him a more effective receiver. "He was the fastest guy on the field. He felt like no one could cover him, knew the scheme well and he just took off," Jones said of the transformation that helped Horne stand out during KU's recent offseason practices. "You saw that south Florida athletic ability take off this past spring. So I was impressed with him. You saw everything come together from what he learned being around me the last two years." - Lawrence Journal World
