Overview
- Over a three-game winning streak, Horvath has rushed for 355 yards and scored six touchdowns, numbers that have been central to the Lions' recent surge.
- The increased role came after James Butler's injury and has lifted Horvath to about 418 rushing yards for the season, placing him among the CFL's top rushers despite starting only three games.
- Coaches on both teams have highlighted his unique mix of size and speed, describing him as a powerful, hard‑working runner who forces opponents to change tackling and game plans.
- The Lions lead the league in rushing at roughly 116.9 yards per game, a run game that has created better matchups for quarterback Nathan Rourke and helped the offense become more balanced.
- Horvath is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound Purdue product with multiple short NFL stops before signing with B.C. in January 2025, and his streak — starting Sunday against the Saskatchewan Roughriders — could determine how far the team climbs in the playoff race.
