FIU’s disruptive edge-setter with an old-school motor
In the 2002 season, Christopher Horne flashed as a left defensive end for FIU, finishing with 24 tackles and 2 sacks in 10 games despite injuries slowing his momentum. His calling card was production in the run game, steady weekly impact, and clear physical development in the weight room; coaches expected more growth because he already showed the traits of a high-effort edge defender. If you want a DL who plays with toughness, room to add strength, and a nose for backfield disruption, he fits the mold—though durability was part of the early story.
