It has been a long year for Deion Sanders and The Buffs. However, there is some great news to be shared. Along with Sanders being awarded the 2023 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of The Year, Travis Hunter has received the 2023 Paul Hornung Award as the nation’s Most Versatile Player.
Travis Hunter: A Prolific Two-Way Player
The Paul Hornung Award Selection Committee is comprised of 17 sports journalists and football experts from across the country. The award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football.
Playing both cornerback and wide receiver throughout the 2023 season, Hunter played more snaps than any other FBS player. Despite missing three-and-a-half games due to injury, he completed the regular season with an average of 119 snaps per game.
Hunter was picked from among the three finalists announced on Nov. 16. An online vote powered by Texas Roadhouse accounted for the 18th vote. He and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award ceremony on Mar. 8, 2023, at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville.
