He has previously posted that he was choosing between Pitt and Arkansas. Horton will sit out 2019-20 via NCAA transfer rules and have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

A member of the Colonial Athletic Association all-rookie team in 2018-19, Horton shot 43.3 percent from the field and 40.9 from beyond the 3-point arc while averaging 32.6 minutes for the Blue Hens.
