LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Idaho senior linebacker and tight end Kaden Elliss was named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List, the Louisville Sports Commission announced Thursday. The Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is given to college football's most versatile player.
"As good of a football player as Kaden is, he's a better person," said head coach Paul Petrino. "He's an amazing young man, a great leader and a great athlete. He can really play anything on defense and he's such a play maker on offense."
Elliss earned All-Sun Belt accolades each of the past two seasons at linebacker and is a preseason All-Big Sky selection at linebacker ahead of the 2018 campaign.
