The Paul Hornung Award is presented to the most versatile player in college football, and was awarded to Penn State running back Saquon Barkley at the end of the 2017 season. Purdue receiver Rondale Moore was named to the honor roll last week for tallying 313 all-purpose yards.
Hamler has totaled 264 all-purpose yards for Penn State through the first two weeks, ranking sixth in the B1G.
