Arkansas junior receiver Jared Cornelius was named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list, presented annually to college football’s most versatile player, Friday.
Cornelius caught 24 passes for 393 yards and three touchdowns despite missing four games as a sophomore. He was also a factor on sweeps and returning punts, making his mark as the only player in the SEC to have a catch, rush and punt return of 40 or more yards last year.
He gained 112 yards and had two scores on just seven carries last year, including a 69-yard touchdown run in a November win at LSU. He also averaged 13.3 yards per punt return.
In all, Cornelius produced nine plays of 20 or more yards last season.
Senior receiver Drew Morgan was added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list earlier this week.
