Senior earns third team accolades as he led team in tackles and interceptions during 2019.
CHICAGO – Evan Horn (Lebanon, Pa.), a senior safety for the University of New Hampshire football team, was named Wednesday to the STATS Perform FCS Preseason All-America Third Team. He was previously tabbed to Phil Steele's Preseason All-CAA First Team.
In 2019, Horn earned 2019 Phil Steele All-CAA Third Team accolades as he led UNH in total tackles (70) and solo tackles (51), including 4.0 sacks, from his starting safety position last season. He also tallied a team-leading four interceptions, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Among his season highlights were a 50-yard Pick-6 in the 26-10 win versus Elon on Oct. 5, and in the 28-10 Nov. 23 win against Maine, a career-high 11 tackles, including 10 solo stops, a personal-best two sacks and a forced fumble. He was named the STATS National Defensive Player of the Week and CAA Defensive Player of the Week for his performance versus Maine.
In conjunction with its league partners the America East Conference and the CAA, the UNH Department of Athletics announced on July 17 that no Wildcat fall sports teams will compete in intercollegiate athletics in the fall semester as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. UNH and the CAA are embarking on a plan to pursue the feasibility of playing a football season in spring 2021.
