LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- TCU All-America return specialist Jeremy Kerley has been named an honoree in the Paul Hornung Award's Most Versatile Performances of the Week.
Kerley totaled 196 all-purpose yards in the fourth-ranked Horned Frogs' 30-21 season-opening victory over Oregon State.
A senior from Hutto, Texas, Kerley had 147 return yards while tying a career-high with six receptions for 49 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown.
Kerley had three punt returns for 42 yards. A 34-yard effort late in the second quarter set up a score which gave TCU a 21-14 halftime lead.
Kerley added 125 yards on kickoff returns.
Created by the Louisville Sports Commission, the Paul Hornung Award recognizes versatile and high-level performers in major college football and helps preserve the legacy of one of Kentucky's best-known athletes. Hornung won the 1956 Heisman Trophy as a quarterback at Notre Dame and was the No. 1 pick in the 1957 NFL Draft. He is a member of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
