NCAA Football: Oklahoma State at Colorado

Hopefully one of many trophies

Paul Hornung is an All-American story. During his years at Notre Dame, 1953 - 1957, he played fullback, halfback (those were bigger deals in the 50s), defensive back, quarterback and pretty much everything else. His claim to fame is the 1956 season, when Hornung led Notre Dame in rushing yards, passing yards and also punted. He was 1st in passes defended and second in tackles.

Notre Dame went 2-8 (who says the Heisman goes to the best team).

Now, Travis Hunter has become the only player in the 70ish years since to win the award in back to back seasons. It’s easy to why. Now that we have modern roster sizes, it’s pretty much unheard of for players to play full time on both sides of the ball. Hunter does so. Not only does he play both sides of the ball, he is the best player on the field on both sides of the ball.

That has literally not happened in modern college football. Ever.

He is one of one. Well, I guess with two Hornung awards, he’s two of two.



college football's most versatile player

TRAVIS HUNTER.
