Jimmy Horn Jr., wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, has signed with Klutch Sports Group for representation.
Horn was previously represented by Edward Dent of AIM Sports & Entertainment LLC, who negotiated his four-year rookie contract with Carolina after the Panthers took him in the sixth round (208th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Before turning pro, Horn built a reputation as one of college football’s most explosive gadget players. He started at South Florida, earning First-Team All-AAC honors as a kick returner, before transferring to Colorado in 2023.
His debut with the Buffaloes was a standout: 11 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. Over two seasons in Boulder, he totaled 95 receptions for 1,108 yards and seven touchdowns alongside future first-round picks Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.
His rookie season in Carolina was quieter. Horn appeared in 14 games, catching 11 of 15 targets for 108 yards and adding 69 yards on eight carries, flashing speed in a limited role.
The signing continues a busy 2026 for Klutch. The agency recently added defensive tackle Leki Fotu, who hit free agency after his release from the Houston Texans, and made its first direct push into soccer by signing USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Klutch also expanded its basketball roster this year with Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey.
Founded by Rich Paul in 2012, Klutch now represents nearly 200 athletes across the NBA, NFL, MLB, WNBA, and international soccer.
Takeaways
Horn isn’t a marquee name yet, and that’s what makes this interesting. Klutch’s football arm keeps scooping up talent at every tier, not just first-rounders, betting that infrastructure and negotiating muscle can turn Day 3 picks into long-term value plays.
Horn’s blazing speed and return ability are exactly the kind of specialized skill set that can carve out a role, and a bigger paycheck, if the right agency knows how to position him.
Can Klutch help Horn carve out a bigger role in Carolina’s offense before his second contract comes up? Does this signal Klutch is hunting for value in later-round prospects, not just blue-chip names? Could Klutch’s off-field and brand-building machine open doors for Horn beyond the football field?
