Levi C. Horn (born October 2, 1986) is a former American football offensive tackle. He began his college football career at Oregon before transferring to Montana, where he was a unanimous All-Big Sky Conference player and an FCS All-American.

Early life[edit]

He redshirted at University of Oregon while moving from tight end to offensive tackle.[2] He left after the 2005 season along with three other players citing a desire for more playing time.[3] He then transferred to the University of Montana. He was a first-team All-Big Sky Conference selection while at Montana.[4][5] He was a unanimous selection to the 2009 All-Big Sky Conference team.[6] He was also an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision All-American selection: American Football Coaches Association (first-team),[7] Associated Press (third-team),[8] and The Sports Network (third-team).[9]
