It didn’t take much more than the grin on his face to see how he felt about the biggest role model in his life. Senior cornerback Damante Horton grew up in a rough neighborhood in Oakland, Calif., but his mom made sure he stayed out of whatever trouble was around him. “She always supported me in whatever I did so she made sure I was at practice all the time and doing what I was supposed to do,” the self-proclaimed momma’s boy said. He said he used football and other sports like basketball and baseball as escapes from the environment around him. “I feel like, growing up, there was a lot of trouble always around but it was just me trying to get away from that and it helped me get here,” Horton said. Even though Horton is away at school at Washington State, he still stays in touch with his mom, Rozenna, and she finds ways to see him at games.
