Lion Football 2013
Retired Numbers Ronnie Hornsby made an immediate impact at Southeastern after an outstanding prep career in which he led the State in rushing yardage his senior season at Greensburg High School. As a four-year starter at linebacker for the Lions, Hornsby was a three-time, all-Gulf States Conference selection, honored in 1968, 1969 and 1970 and was the outstanding lineman in the conference in 1969. He finished his career with seven interceptions and was the leading tackler on the squad each year. He earned all-America honors following his senior season of 1970 and participated in the North-South game scoring the South’s only touchdown on an interception return. Hornsby was inducted into the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 1974.
