From Hall of Honor press release dated Aug. 8, 2017:

Don Horton is being recognized for an extraordinary professional career that included lengthy stints as an assistant football coach at Boston College and North Carolina State University. He is credited with mentoring dozens of student-athletes who went on to professional football careers before Parkinson's Disease forced him to retire.

Horton was a key contributor to Tiger teams that compiled a four-year record of 37-6-1 between 1978-81, including four Ohio Athletic Conference championships and NCAA Division III runner-up finishes in 1978 and 1979. After making a tremendous impact upon his student-athletes as a coach both on and off the field, Horton and his wife Maura created a line of clothing for people with disabilities called MagnaReady. He remained active in the sport until his passing in 2016. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Horton resided in Raleigh, NC, with Maura and their daughters Libby and Hadley.
