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.
In the Chanticleers' 52-23 win over Arkansas State last Saturday, Marable led the way on the ground for the Chanticleers' offense with 63 yards and a score on 15 carries while also eclipsing the 3,000 career rushing yards mark in the process. The versatile running back also added four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown in the passing game and had one kickoff return for 15 yards. Overall, he finished the game with 103 all-purpose yards.
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.
