Worthy was honored for his versatility in the Longhorns’ victory over West Virginia.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Texas sophomore wide receiver Xavier Worthy was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll, the Louisville Sports Commission announced on Tuesday.
Worthy, a Fresno, Calif. native, caught seven passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns in Texas' 38-20 victory over West Virginia. He also threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Tavion Sanders and served as the punt returner for the Longhorns.
The Louisville Sports Commission successfully launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son, and to promote outstanding performances by versatile college football players who often go unnoticed. Each week during the regular season, a panel of college football experts selects players for the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll based on performance. A national selection committee comprised of 17 sports journalists and former NFL stars votes for the Hornung Award finalists and the winner, with fan voting powered by Texas Roadhouse comprising the 18th vote.
Fan voting for the 2022 Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is now open. Fans can vote once every 24 hours here.
