Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Van Horn stands out in large part due to his high-end athleticism. A factor on the track whenever he steps onto it, we see that speed leading to production on the football field. Through the first four games of the 2025 season, the senior had produced 38.0 tackles (33 solo, 1.0 TFL) for the No. 1 team in Class 5A. That’s coming after a 41.0-tackle junior campaign. Van Horn operates in the middle of the Wolves’ second level, playing downhill and arriving at the ball with purpose. His pre-snap diagnoses gets him positioned for plays, and he flows well to the football. Van Horn works as a linebacker in Northwest’s system, but could fit at safety on the next level as well.
