GoFrogs: Davis Named to Paul Hornung Award Watch List

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- TCU wide receiver/punt returner Derius Davis has been named to the watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, recognizing the nation's most versatile player.

Davis, named to multiple preseason All-America teams, led the Big 12 and ranked fifth nationally last season in punt return average at 14.5 yards. He was one of only three players in the FBS with two punt returns for touchdowns, reaching the end zone from 67 and 37 yards against Baylor and Kansas, respectively. He is tied for second in TCU history with three career punt return TDs on just 17 attempts.

A senior from Saint Francisville, La., Davis placed fourth on the Horned Frogs in 2020 with 15 receptions and had a career-best game with six catches for 139 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown, in a 29-22 late-season win over No. 15 Oklahoma State.

TCU All-American Jeremy Kerley, who played eight seasons in the NFL, was a 2010 finalist for the Paul Hornung Award.
