Tift County forward PJ Horne has been in the spotlight for a few years now. The 6’6”, 220-pound three-year starter has been among the best players on one of the state’s best teams since he stepped on the court for the Blue Devils. The rising senior is one of the most versatile players on Tift’s roster and can play anywhere on the court. He’s also a hard worker, very coachable, and gives his best every time he’s on the floor. Horne has a tremendous desire to win and would love to bring another state title home to Tifton; his Blue Devils came up short this year but he has one more year to accomplish his goal. On an average day, PJ Horne is an absolute beast. A motivated Horne with one year left – well, Tift’s competition ought to be put on notice.
Horne averages about 17 points and eight rebounds per game, and is the state’s #7 ranked player, according to MaxPreps. Colleges all over are hoping he will join their programs. When we spoke to Horner earlier in the year, he wasn’t quite ready to make that decision. His first priority was helping the Blue Devils make a run through the state playoffs. He said last offseason was a long one. This one will be, too. But rest assured – you haven’t heard the last of PJ Horne. And neither have his opponents.
