Washington State running back Jamal Morrow has been named to the 2017 Paul Hornung Award Watch List, the Louisville Sports Commission announced Monday.

Morrow was among 46 players named to the watch list for the award given annually to the most versatile player in major college football. Morrow becomes the first Cougar to be named to the Paul Hornung Watch List since the award was created in 2010.

A native of Menifee, California, Morrow earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season after leading the Cougars with 1,217 all-purpose yards, No. 21 in WSU single-season history. The redshirt-senior rushed for 575 yards and five touchdowns, tied for fourth on the team with 48 receptions for 488 yards and five touchdowns and also averaged 43.7 yards on three punt returns. Morrow served as the team captain all 13 games and finished second on the team with nine plays of 20-plus yards.
