Jimmy Horn Jr. is on cloud nine. Last season’s star opener is now ruling the NIL valuation chart. The sports world has its fringe benefits; NIL is a classic example. Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Jimmy is a big name in College Football. From a young age, he felt an inclination toward football. With his constant track speed and focus, he always proved himself.
Jimmy started his career by playing for the All-American Athletic Conference (AAC). He emerged as a kickoff player last season. Later, he was registered for the NCAA transfer portal after the 2022 season. His fate turned when he started playing for Colorado Buffaloes, where he was on the top of his game, showcasing immense flexibility and grip. Jimmy always thrives to deliver beyond expectations; for instance, in his junior year, he had 58 passes for 567 yards and six touchdowns, which is an exceptional start for a newcomer. Horn became a well-known face of Colorado, and his success started paying him off with deals, high valuations, and whatnot!

We encourage every supporter of the Buffs community to pledge their support to 5430 Alliance.” Jimmy’s most recent deal with 5430 Alliance took him up the charts.
