Article and highlights here.
Weird similarities to former Harvard TE Ben Braunecker, undrafted out of the Ivy League.
He played WR at Princeton, listed at 6'4" 225#. Not much info on him, although ESPN details him at...
Height 6' 3 3/4"
Weight 229#
Arm Length 32 1/8"
Hand Size 9 7/8"
40... 4.77
Looking at his tape... Simple routes, where he was a man among boys. Not much nuance to his routes. Does go up and catch it with his hands in traffic, but not the kind of traffic he'll see in the NFL. No blocking tape.
Seems like a slim chance project, particularly with the position change. Practice squad guy, maybe.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".
Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

Here's what Ourlads had to say about Horsted. Listed as a WR, as that's what he played at Princeton.
