Tyler Horn Post-Practice
After Monday morning's practice, several players met with the members of the media to discuss the start of the second week of camp. Sophomore offensive lineman Tyler Horn was among the group that was made available. He discussed a number of topics, including his confidence heading into the season, how the younger linemen look in camp and how A.J. Trump has influenced his development...
On how the younger offensive linemen look in camp- It's going real good. We have a lot of guys... They have definitely picked up the offense real fast and have been playing real well this camp. They are getting a lot better every day.
On his confidence heading into the season - It's about as high as it can get. I am ready to go. I am ready to play. I feel I'm capable of playing and I am ready to go.
On how the game has slowed down- It really has. They say college football is a lot faster, but once you get out there for a couple of plays, you are ready to go. It slows down and you start picking up the defense's blitzes and coverages and all that kind of stuff.
On A.J. Trump's influence on him - I am always trying to push him. I've learned a lot from him. He is an experienced guy and I pick up a lot of stuff from him.
