Alonzo Horton

UNT90 · October 2, 2009

Horton has 2 sacks through five games for the #9 ranked DII Texans (?). Looking through the defensive stats, he appears to be a starter and solid contributor.

Always wondered what would have been.

RememberEvan Roberson from Pflugerville that played at UNT for a couple of years ? He had some grade problems and went to JC to get them straight and when he did , he was told that he was no longer wanted at UNT. His last year here he was a very effective RB and shined on KOR and other special teams. He now plays for Tarleton, leading the team in rushing and scoring and last I checked was averaging over 40 yds. per KOR. They are currently ranked number 5 in the nation.

In today's Startlegram:

Tarleton State defense ready for its toughest opponent.

Linemates Alonzo Horton, Jamaal Steamer, Ben Taifane and Dre Jones have anchored a defense that has held opponents to an average of just a little more than a touchdown per game and 204.4 total yards a game. It also has allowed fewer than 100 yards rushing in four games.
The Texans are No. 1 in the conference in total defense, third-down conversions allowed (19-for-77, 24.7 percent), fourth-down conversions (0-for-9) and red-zone defense (4-for-10)..
.
.Tarleton State is No. 11 in both the American Football Coaches Association and D2football.com rankings. Kingsville is No. 9 in AFCA and 7 in the other.
