MIAMI (Sept. 17, 2018) – After his electric game against UMass on Saturday, FIU football's Maurice Alexander was named to the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll, the organization announced on Monday.
Alexander returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown, adding to his stellar all-around night in the Panthers' 63-24 victory over the Minutemen on Saturday. The redshirt junior also caught a touchdown pass earlier in the contest, becoming the first Panther ever to earn a punt return and receiving touchdown in the same game.
This is the first season Alexander has played at the wide receiver position, after making the mover from quarterback over the offseason.
