Barion Brown on Paul Hornung Award Watch List

Paul Hornung is a Kentucky legend. The award that bares his name has been won be a Kentucky Wildcat before. Can Barion Brown repeat history?

The former Top 100 recruit from Nashville is one of 53 players to appear on the preseason watch list for the Paul Hornung Award. The Louisville Sports Commission gives the annual award to the most versatile athlete in college football.

For those who grew up in the city of Louisville, Paul Hornung was a folk hero. “The Golden Boy” from Flaget did everything but cook dinner for his team, eventually earning a place in history as the only Heisman Trophy winner from a team with a losing record.
