Top Dual-Sport Athletes in Colorado (Honorable Mention)

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Sure, much to the chagrin of an older generation, dual-sport athletes have seemed to fade away in a lot of cases, something many people are attempting to reverse.</span> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">And yet, even in the world of high-pressure hoops with such a focus on the grassroots scene, there are still those who step away from the court and excel in another sport, as well.</span> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">In the final of a three-part series of rankings, here’s Prep Hoops Colorado’s honorable mention dual-sport athletes in Colorado—those who are not only basketball talents, but are star players for their schools in the fall and the spring:</span> <strong>Jake Hornick:  </strong>The Thompson Valley senior led the Northern Conference in scoring, free throws made, and free throws attempted last year for a 14-10 team. He’s a solid small-school prospect in basketball. As for football, the mobile QB threw for 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns. <strong>Cameron Horning:  </strong>A rare soccer and basketball dual-athlete, Horning had 11 goals and 25 points on the pitch as a midfielder and striker. As a junior guard, he was dynamic all-around, averaging 17.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.6 steals. The Glenwood Springs star, outside the spotlight of Denver, quietly produces. <strong>Jordan Herder:  </strong>The 2017 athlete racked up 1,484 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns for an 8-3 Akron football team. He also averaged 19.5 points and 2.4 steals in hoops and is one of the elite small-class guards in Colorado. <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><strong>Eli Sullivan:  </strong>Sullivan displayed all his abilities as a junior as a speedy wide receiver with 50 catches and 661 yards, a tough, defensive guard in basketball, and a sprinter in track. Oh, and his team, Longmont, reached the 4A state finals in both football and basketball and finished as the runner-up in each.</span></span> <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><strong>Dylan Holt:  </strong>The Vista PEAK Prep Bison wideout, a 6-foot-4 junior, used his sticky hands to haul in 70 receptions for 1,060 yards and six touchdowns in 2014. He was also highly active on the basketball court while averaging 9.8 points and 6.7 rebounds. </span></span>
