Aidan Horne brings size, clean tackling, and early special-teams value to Southern Miss
Aidan Horne is a freshman safety for Southern Miss in the 2026 season, listed at 6-3 and 187 pounds, and he has already made an early impact with 2 tackles in the opener against Alcorn State[1][2][4]. What stands out is the frame and versatility: he looks like a modern safety who can add length in coverage and hit like he means it, which is why he’s a good developmental fit for a defense that wants range and physicality. The quick caveat: there’s still not much game tape, so this is a high-upside eval, not a finished product[1][4][15].
