Pena Named to Paul Hornung Award Watch List

Syracuse redshirt junior Trebor Pena is one of 48 players named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List on Thursday, Aug. 1. The award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission in memory of the late Paul Hornung.

Pena, who is a member of the Watch List for the second-straight year, ranked second in the ACC and 23rd nationally in combined kick returns (508) in 2003 when he also was third in the league in punt return average (8.7) in 2022. In addition, he caught 22 passes for 203 yards. Pena was limited to just one appearance last season due to injury.

The 2024 Watch List was compiled by a panel of college football experts based on a combination of statistics, career performance, SID recommendations and expectations heading into the 2024 season. In addition to the Watch List, the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll will recognize players whose performances during the regular season meet the Award's criteria. Players from both the Watch List and the Weekly Honor Roll are eligible to win the Award.
