Raekwon Horton Season 2024-25

Prior to UTSA
A hybrid forward who finishes above the rim through contact, Horton is a proven defensive disruptor and has been part of multiple NCAA tournament teams. Originally coming out of Santee, S.C., he played in 35 games last season at James Madison, helping the Dukes to a 35-4 record, a Sun Belt Conference title and an NCAA first-round upset of fifth-seeded Wisconsin – in which he scored eight points with seven rebounds. Horton also kicked off the season on a high note, hitting the game-winning three in overtime to upset No. 4 Michigan State in the season opener. An opponents’ defensive nightmare who can also handle the ball and finish in traffic, Horton averaged 21.8 minutes with 6.9 ppg on 54.2 percent shooting, adding in 4.3 rpg, 1.4 spg and 1.1 apg. He scored in double-figures in 10 games. Before JMU, he played two seasons at College of Charleston, where he made 66 appearances (all but one game) and was part of the Cougars’ pivot from middle-of-the-road to conference champions and a 2022-23 NCAA tournament appearance. Across two seasons at CofC, Horton averaged 5.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in under 20 minutes per game. Before college ball, he played a post-graduate year at the prestigious Vermont Academy after attending W.J. Keenan High School in Columbia, S.C. – where he holds the 52-point single-game scoring record. Over his final two high school seasons, he led Keenan to a 55-7 record and back-to-back AAA State Championships. He’s a two-time South Carolina 3A Player of the Year and two-time Region Player of the Year – recording 19.03 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 2.3 spg and 1.9 apg across his junior and senior seasons. He was rated a three-star prospect by Rivals heading into college and was a 2020 McDonald's All-America nominee.
