As we continue to navigate our way through all of the college football awards preseason watch lists, the latest is the Paul Hornung Award, given annually to the college player judged to be the most versatile. We've seen plenty of Ohio State representation throughout these announcements, and that's the case as well with the Paul Hornung Award. Wide Receiver Brandon Inniss was among the names on the preseason watch list released by the Louisville Sports Commission.

Inniss not only hauled in 35 receptions for 271 yards and three touchdowns last season, but he also played a major role on special teams with five kick returns totaling 55 yards and 17 punt returns for 181 yards. His work in returning kicks landed him on the All-Big Ten Honorable Mention team. Inniss was also one of four captains on last year's team and will be embarking on his senior season.

The Paul Hornung Award has been around since the 2010 season, with no Buckeye ever taking the award home. The winner of the award will be announced sometime in late December after the list is pared down to three finalists in early December.
