'''Timothy Horne''' (born October 25, 1997) is an American professional football nose tackle for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Charlotte 49ers and Kansas State Wildcats. He went undrafted in the 2022 NFL draft and previously played for the Atlanta Falcons.
==Early life== Timothy Horne was born on October 27, 1997, to Reva Horne. He was raised in Wadesboro, North Carolina, where he attended Anson High School. While at Anson, Horne was a three-year varsity player for the football team while also playing basketball.
==College career== After finishing high school, Horne chose to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Horne chose to redshirt before his freshman year preceding the 2016 college football season. The following year, Horne started two out of twelve games for Charlotte and had nineteen tackles for the season. As a redshirt sophomore, Horne started all twelve games for Charlotte and recorded 28 tackles with 1.5 sacks. Horne would again start twelve games the next season and achieved a season-high tackle total of 41 with 0.5 sacks. Due to a shortened season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Horne only played in six games in the 2020 college football season, of which he started in three. Despite this, Horne received Fourth-Team All-Conference USA honors at the conclusion of the season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Timmy Horne - Football |url=https://charlotte49ers.com/sports/football/roster/timmy-horne/6737 |access-date=February 15, 2024 |website=Charlotte Athletics |language=en}}</ref> Horne chose to transfer to Kansas State University and play as a graduate transfer there due to the one year of eligibility extended by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic before the 2021 college football season.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Green |first=Arne |date=August 20, 2021 |title=Kansas State football defensive tackle Timmy Horne feeling right at home |url=https://www.salina.com/story/sports/2021/08/20/kansas-state-k-state-football-transfer-timmy-horne-emerged-leader/8207526002/ |access-date=2024-06-29 |website=Salina Journal |language=en-US}}</ref>
