Lincoln – Nebraska men’s basketball coach Tim Miles announced Wednesday that Jeriah Horne (Overland Park, Kan.) has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to attend the University of Nebraska and play basketball for the Huskers beginning in the 2016-17 season.
Horne, who is ranked among the top 150 players by Rivals.com, is a two-time first-team all-state pick and continues Nebraska’s run of players from the Kansas City metro area, a region which has produced current Husker starters Shavon Shields and Benny Parker.
“Jeriah is a physical player with excellent skill and his basketball IQ is outstanding,” Miles said. “He finds a way to be extremely productive as both a scorer and rebounder, but also allows for his team to be successful at the same time. He has experienced great success at both the high school and AAU levels, and knows how to win. I believe he will be a very good player for us and has the opportunity to contribute immediately.”
Horne attends The Barstow (Mo.) School and is one of the top players in the Midwest region. He is rated No. 129 nationally by Rivals and is listed by a three-star recruit by Scout, Rivals and 247 Sports. The 6-foot-7, 220-pound forward led Barstow to a 29-2 record and the Missouri Class 3 State title as a junior, averaging 20.1 points and 10 rebounds per game for Coach Billy Thomas. A first-team Class 3 selection and a second-team all-state (all classes) performer as a junior, Horne had 33 points in the state quarterfinals and finished his season with 19 points and 10 rebounds in the state title game. He was also a first-team All-Metro selection by the Kansas City Star as a junior.
Horne, who moved to the Kansas City area prior to his sophomore season, turned in an impressive first season at Barstow, averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds in leading the school to a 27-3 record and a state runner-up finish. For his efforts, he was a first-team Class 3 selection and a second-team all-metro choice by the KC Star. Horne played his AAU ball for L.J. Goolsby.
Horne, who was born in Dayton, Ohio, comes from a basketball background as his father, Jerrell, played at Memphis during the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons. Jeriah is the son of Tashannah and Jerrell Horne, and choose Nebraska over Kansas State, Wichita State, Pepperdine and DePaul.
The fall signing period opened today and continues until Wednesday, Nov. 18.
