A Versatile Threat on Both Ends
Morgan State University announced the addition of forward Khalil Horton, a transfer from Coppin State, to its men’s basketball roster for the upcoming 2026‑27 campaign, signaling a strategic push to bolster depth and competitiveness within the Mid‑Eastern Athletic Conference.
Horton arrives after a collegiate career that spanned 75 games at Coppin State, where he demonstrated a blend of scoring and defensive versatility. In his junior season he posted averages of 7.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 21 steals while hitting 46 three‑pointers, and he reached a personal high of 28 points against his new school.
The Baltimore native earned All‑State honors in high school and helped his team capture a state championship, averaging 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds at Cathedral Prep. His experience across multiple programs equips him to contribute immediately on both ends of the floor.
Coach Kevin Broadus, who previously worked with Horton at Coppin State, highlighted the player’s work ethic and adaptability, noting that Horton’s skill set aligns with the Bears’ tactical goals. His arrival marks the latest piece of a recruiting class that aims to reinforce the program’s depth and competitiveness.
The move underscores Morgan State’s continued focus on building a roster that can compete at the conference level, leveraging transfers who bring both proven performance and developmental upside as the program looks toward the future.
