Presley Named to Paul Hornung Award Trophy Watch List
July 28, 2022 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State wide receiver Brennan Presley is one of 52 FBS players on the watch list for the 2022 Paul Hornung Award, announced Thursday by the Louisville Sports Commission.
Presley is one of seven Big 12 players on the watch list for the award, which is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football.
A standout receiver, kickoff returner and punt returner, Presley has been a valuable weapon for the Cowboys each of the past two seasons.
As a sophomore in 2021, Presley was selected as a second team All-Big 12 returner by the league's head coaches. He played in every game and started 11 times, while his 1,113 all-purpose yards ranked second on the team.
Presley also finished as OSU's second-leading receiver last year in terms of receptions, yards and touchdowns, while adding a rushing touchdown and kickoff return touchdown. His kick return score proved to be one of OSU's most important plays of the season, as he took back a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in OSU's win over No. 10 Oklahoma, weaving between players and cutting across the field for a spectacular play that helped the Cowboys defeat the Sooners.
The 2022 Paul Hornung Award watch list was compiled by a panel of college football experts based on a combination of statistics, career performance, SID recommendations and expectations heading into the 2022 season. In addition to the watch list, the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll will recognize players whose performances during the regular season meet the award's criteria. Players from both the watch list and the honor roll are eligible to win the award.
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 2023.
Oklahoma State is scheduled to open the 2022 season September 1 when it faces Central Michigan at Boone Pickens Stadium, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. CT on FS1.
