The Seahawks added speed and playmaking to their receiver room in the fifth-round of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton with pick No. 166.
Horton, a two-time captain at Colorado State played in 30 games, scoring 20 touchdowns and had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023 before a knee injury cut short his 2024 campaign.
Even coming off a season-ending injury in 2024, Horton was able to run a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, and Horton said he ran in the 4.3s prior to the injury.
Horton, a first-team All-Mountain West selection as a receiver in 2022 and 2023 also returned punts at Colorado State, gaining 423 yards on 26 career returns, and he had a punt return touchdown in each of the past three seasons.
Productive fifth-year senior and two-time team captain whose 2024 season was cut short by a knee surgery. Horton is a loose athlete with quality speed and above-average cut quickness. He's an instinctive route runner with a feel for burst timing and he rarely drops what is thrown his way. Big press corners are likely to slow him and take a bite out of his effectiveness, but motion and bunch formations could solve that problem. He can knife through the heart of zone defenses and is competitive at the catch point but can be overtaken on 50/50 balls by length and size. If healthy, Horton has WR3 upside.
