TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo junior wide receiver Devin Maddox was named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list on Thursday.

Now in its 13th season, the Paul Hornung Award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission in the memory of the late football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung. 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.

A second-team All-MAC honoree in 2021 as a punt returner, Maddox impacts the game as both a returner and a receiver. Last season he led the Rockets with 41 receptions and 567 receiving yards and ranked fourth in the MAC in punt return average (7.6). He was named a pre-season All-MAC selection as a kick returner and wide receiver by Athlon.

Players on the 2022 Watch List represent 52 teams from all 10 football conferences and three independents that are part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The Big Ten leads the conferences with eight players on the Watch List, the Big 12 and the AAC each have seven, the MAC has six, the SEC and the ACC have four, the Pac 12 has three and the Sun Belt has two. Independents Army, Liberty and Notre Dame each have one player on the list.
