TCU All-American Jeremy Kerley "Most Versatile Player In The Nation?"


TCU's stud all-purpose back,Jeremy Kerley has been recognized for the second time in just three games by the Paul Hornung Award for "Most Versatile Performances of The Week." Kerley, who was on the pre-season watch list has proven to the nation why he belongs at the top of the list. Week in and week out Kerley provides play making ability at multiple positions. There is not a doubt in my mind that he is deserving of this award and will continue to show the nation why.

Paul Hornung was the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner as a quarterback with Notre Dame, he went on to play running back for the legendary Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers and was a first ballot Hall of Famer. The award is given to the player who shows the most versatility on the football field.

Kerley totaled 202 all-purpose yards in the fourth-ranked Horned Frogs'
45-10 win over Baylor. Kerley also tied a career-high with six receptions for 69 yards and two
touchdowns, and had four punt returns for 84 yards and four carries for 49
yards. Not too shabby if you ask me. Kerley, who is from Hutto,Texas near Austin has shown Frog fans since his arrival how special he is, now he is finally getting the attention he deserves from sports writers and critics all over the nation.

Look for Kerley to only boast bigger and better numbers from this point on with the remaining bulk of the schedule being teams from the Mountain West. Although I think the Mountain West is a much better conference than people give it credit, there is not a lot of speed beside an athletic Utah team.
