Impact Few teams were hit harder by players moving into the transfer portal this past offseason than Georgia, but Horne entered 2021-22 as the most accomplished returnee after he averaged 8.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per game in his first season in Athens upon joining the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer from Virginia Tech. Georgia will now have to endeavor without the 6-foot-6 forward, who was expected to be one of the SEC's top marksmen from the outside. In light of the injury, it's unclear whether Horne will pursue a medical redshirt that would allow him to play a sixth season in 2022-23 at Georgia or another school.
