Florida’s Kadarius Toney was named one of five finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, the Louisville Sports Commission announced on Wednesday.
The Paul Hornung Award is given annually by the Louisville Sports Commission to the most versatile player in major college football.
Chosen as finalists by a 17-member Selection Committee and online fan voting are: Michael Carter (North Carolina), D’Wayne Eskridge (Western Michigan), Travis Etienne (Clemson), DeVonta Smith (Alabama), and Toney.
Toney started all 11 games and averaged 130.8 all-purpose yards per game touching the ball five different ways – receiving, rushing, passing, and returning kicks and punts.
He is one of three FBS players to record touchdowns rushing, receiving, and returning punts; and one of four to record two touchdowns receiving and one rushing in a game (against Missouri).
Toney made the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll four times this season.
