Two Kentucky Wildcat football stars, Derrick Locke and Randall Cobb, have made the watch list for the inaugural Paul Hornung award. The award is given to the most versatile college football player in the nation which both Locke and Cobb could certainly fulfill. The watch list currently contains 48 candidates.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
The Paul Hornung Award was created in Janaury 2010 by the Louisville Sports Commission (LSC) with the support of Paul Hornung, a native and resident of Louisville and member of the college and pro football halls of fame. The mission of the Award is to recognize and reward versatile, high-level performers in major college football; to help preserve the legacy Paul Hornung, of one of Louisville’s native sons and sports icons; and to promote Louisville as a great sports town.
