A very deserving Candidate.

The Louisville Sports Commission ("LSC") today announced three finalists for the inaugural Paul Hornung Award that will be presented to the most versatile player in major college football. The finalists are: fullback/linebacker Owen Marecic of Stanford, wide receiver/kick return specialist Jeremy Kerley of TCU, and wide receiver/quarterback Randall Cobb of Kentucky.

The announcement was made at the Sports Commission's annual breakfast held in downtown Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center.

The LSC created the Paul Hornung Award in January 2010 in an effort to recognize the distinctive talents of college football's most versatile student-athlete and to preserve the legacy of Hornung, a native and lifelong resident of Louisville who is enshrined in both the College Football and National Football League Halls of Fame.

"Each finalist demonstrated his desire to do whatever his coaches asked to help win football games," said Hornung, 1956 Heisman Trophy winner at Notre Dame and a four-time NFL champion with the Green Bay Packers in the early 1960s. "These guys can run, catch, pass, block, play defense or anchor special teams, and they do it in the big games against the best teams. I am a big fan of all three."
