Coastal Carolina senior was also named to the honor roll on Oct. 5
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Coastal Carolina senior running back CJ Marable was one of three players named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll, the Louisville Sports Commission announced on Monday. It marks the second time this season he has been recognized for the weekly honor roll, earning the first honor on Oct. 5 following the Chanticleers' win over Arkansas State (Oct. 3).
Marable was joined on the honor roll by Khalil Herbert of Virginia Tech and Jaylen Waddle of Alabama.
In the Chanticleers' 30-27 conference road win at No. 21 Louisiana (Oct. 14) last Wednesday, Marable led the way on the ground for the Chanticleers' offense with 73 yards and a score on 17 carries. The versatile running back also added three catches for 40 yards and a touchdown in the passing game and finished the game with 113 all-purpose yards.
The win over No. 21 Louisiana was the program's first-ever win over an FBS top 25 nationally-ranked program and put the Chants at 2-0 in the Sun Belt for the first time in their four-year FBS history.
The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse, now in its 11th season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award dinner at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville in March 2021.
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. Regional accounting firm Dean Dorton independently tabulates all votes. For more information, visit www.paulhornungaward.com. Fans also can follow online on Twitter (@hornungaward) and become a fan on Facebook.
No. 24/25 Coastal Carolina (4-0, 2-0 Sun Belt) will host Georgia Southern (3-1, 1-1 Sun Belt) at Brooks Stadium this Saturday, Oct. 24, at noon ET on ESPNU.
