DALLAS (September 12, 2023) – Washington State wide receiver Lincoln Victor was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll, the Louisville Sports Commission announced Tuesday.
 
The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse, now in its 14th season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission. The Award pays tribute to the late football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award dinner in downtown Louisville in March 2024.
 
Victor did a little bit of everything in the Cougars 31-22 win over No. 19 Wisconsin in Pullman last Saturday. The senior from West Camas, Wash. caught a game-high seven pass for 55 yards including a one-yard touchdown and also threw a 39-yard completion to set up his touchdown. Victor also had a pair of kickoff returns and enters the week tied for seventh in the country with 18 catches.
 
College football fans nationwide have the opportunity to vote for their favorite player during the regular season and again during the bowl season. Online fan voting powered by Texas Roadhouse is now open factors into selecting the finalists and winner.
 
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.
