Prior to focusing on athletics, Horne developed an interest in cooking as a personal hobby.[1]High school career

Horne was also selected as a participant in the 2015 Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas, representing North Carolina in the all-star game.[3] Rated as a two-star recruit by scouting services, Horne attracted attention from multiple college programs during his recruitment process.[1] He ultimately committed to and signed with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in February 2016.[6]College career
University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Timmy Horne enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2016 as a defensive tackle, joining the Charlotte 49ers football program as part of their fifth recruiting class after signing in February of that year.[3] He redshirted during the 2016 season, preserving a year of eligibility while acclimating to college-level play.[7] Horne's playing time and production increased steadily over the next four seasons. As a redshirt freshman in 2017, he appeared in 12 games, recording 19 tackles, including 3.0 tackles for loss.[7] In 2018, as a redshirt sophomore, he started all 12 games and tallied 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two pass deflections.[3] His performance peaked in 2019 as a junior, starting 12 of 13 games with a career-high 41 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss, including a start in the 49ers' first bowl game appearance, the 2019 Bahamas Bowl against Buffalo.[7][3] The 2020 season, shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, saw Horne start three of six games, amassing 13 tackles and 3.0 tackles for loss, earning him Fourth-Team All-Conference USA honors.[3][1] Following the 2020 campaign, Horne, having completed his undergraduate degree, entered the transfer portal as a graduate student with one year of eligibility remaining due to NCAA extensions related to the pandemic.[8]Kansas State University
Timmy Horne transferred to Kansas State University in early 2021 as a graduate transfer from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, utilizing his final year of eligibility to join the Wildcats' defensive line.[1][9] During the 2021 season, Horne played in all 12 regular-season games, earning one start as a defensive tackle and contributing to Kansas State's defensive efforts under coordinator Glenn Spencer.[4][1] He recorded 20 total tackles (18 solo, 2 assisted), 3.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, providing interior pressure that helped disrupt opposing offenses.[10][1] His sacks included a notable takedown of Baylor quarterback Gerry Bohanon in a 20-10 loss on November 20, 2021, showcasing his ability to penetrate the line in key Big 12 matchups.[11] Horne's transition bolstered Kansas State's defensive depth, where he rotated into a role emphasizing run stuffing and pass-rush support, adapting quickly to the Wildcats' scheme after his multi-year development at Charlotte.[4] Following the season, which ended with a 7-6 record and a Texas Bowl appearance, Horne focused on NFL draft preparation, participating in pro day workouts to highlight his 6-foot-5, 321-pound frame and athleticism.[12] He went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft but signed as an undrafted free agent with the Atlanta Falcons shortly after.[5][12]Professional career
Atlanta Falcons
Timmy Horne signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2022, shortly after the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft.[13] Following a successful training camp, he secured a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster, marking his entry into the NFL after transferring to Kansas State University for his final college season to prepare for professional competition.[14] In his rookie 2022 season, Horne appeared in all 17 games for the Falcons, starting five contests primarily at defensive tackle.[12] He recorded 27 total tackles, including 13 solo stops, along with one quarterback hit and one pass defensed, contributing to the team's defensive rotation amid efforts to rebuild the front line.[15] His steady presence helped stabilize the interior defense, as he played significant snaps in run-stopping situations during a 7-10 campaign.[16] Entering the 2023 season, Horne faced increased competition following the Falcons' acquisitions of veteran defensive linemen like Calais Campbell and David Onyemata. On August 29, 2023, he was waived from the active roster but re-signed to the practice squad the following day.[1] He was elevated to the active roster for three games—Weeks 3, 4, and 10—where he appeared in limited action, registering four assisted tackles and one pass defensed.[17] On December 21, 2023, Horne was released from the Falcons' practice squad after being signed to the New York Giants' active roster, concluding his initial tenure with Atlanta.[18]New York Giants
Timmy Horne joined the New York Giants on December 21, 2023, when he was signed off the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad to the Giants' active roster amid injuries to their defensive line.[18] During the remainder of the 2023 regular season, Horne saw limited action with the Giants, appearing in one game and recording seven defensive snaps without any statistics.[12][19] Entering the 2024 preseason, Horne remained on the Giants' roster as a depth defensive tackle, but his tenure was abruptly ended on August 24, 2024, when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon on the first play of the preseason finale against the New York Jets.[20] The Giants placed Horne on injured reserve following the injury, but waived him injured on August 25, 2024, as part of initial roster cuts ahead of the 53-man deadline, effectively ending his season and time with the team.[21][22] This severe injury halted Horne's momentum from his earlier professional experience with the Falcons, where he had shown promise as an undrafted rookie, and forced him into recovery through the 2024 season, ultimately positioning him as a restricted free agent entering 2025 without a tender offer from the Giants.[23]Tennessee Titans
Horne signed with the Tennessee Titans on July 23, 2025, joining the team as a depth piece on the defensive line following a workout.[24] He participated in training camp and the preseason, where he provided rotational snaps at nose tackle, particularly stepping up in the opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when starter T'Vondre Sweat was sidelined with an abdominal injury.[25] Horne displayed a strong motor and ability to anchor against the run in limited action, though his performance tapered off in subsequent practices and games as he continued recovering from a 2024 Achilles injury sustained with the New York Giants.[26][27] The Titans waived Horne on August 27, 2025, as part of final roster cuts, but re-signed him to their practice squad two days later on August 29.[28][29] As a 6-foot-4, 323-pound nose tackle, Horne fits well within the Titans' 3-4 base defensive scheme under coordinator Dennard Wilson, offering size and experience to support starters Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat in run-stopping duties.[30] As of November 13, 2025, Horne remains on the Titans' practice squad, with no elevations to the active roster for regular-season games thus far.[31] Practice squad players like Horne are eligible for temporary promotion to the 53-man roster for up to three games per season, positioning him for potential opportunities amid the team's defensive line depth needs.Career statistics and accolades
