Alex Hornibrook receives Rose Bowl Player of the Week honors
Published:
Alex Hornibrook is racking up the honors following an incredible outing last Saturday against BYU.
Monday afternoon, Hornibrook was named the Rose Bowl’s B1G Player of the Week after completing 18-of-19 passes for 256 yards and four touchdowns in Wisconsin’s 40-6 win over BYU.
The honor came not long after the Badgers QB was tabbed as the B1G Offensive Player of the Week following Week 3.

Hornibrook has been sensational in non-conference play for the Badgers. In three games, the sophomore is completing 70 percent of his passes and has thrown for 701 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s tossed just one interception.
The competition intensifies moving forward and Hornibrook will surely face tougher challenges as B1G play approaches. The Badgers are off this week but will host Northwestern on Sept. 30 to open conference play.
Still, Hornibrook has had a great start to the 2017 campaign and has earned plenty of recognition for Saturday’s performance.
