LOUISVILLE - Senior running back DeAndre Torrey was one of six players named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for Week 12, following his performance during Saturday's 27-17 win over Rice, the award selection committee announced Monday.
Torrey touched the ball 23 times four different ways and scored once in the Mean Green's comeback win over the Owls at home. Torrey carried the ball 19 times for 102 yards and a touchdown, caught two passes and returned two kickoffs and two punts, and finished the game with 158 total yards. He accounted for six first downs, and his one-yard touchdown run mid-fourth quarter put the game out of reach. It marked Torrey's sixth-career 100-yard rushing game, and second in as many games.
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 to honor 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.
