Auburn running back [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag] finds himself on yet another watch list.

Bigsby was one of 52 college football players to be named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list on Thursday afternoon. The award is presented annually to the most versatile player in college football at the season’s end by the Louisville Sports Commission.

The Hornung Award watch list is the third such watch list that Bigsby has landed on this preseason. Last week, Bigsby made the watch list for the Maxwell Award, which is given to the best player in College Football. He also landed on the Doak Walker watch list, an award given to the top running back.

Bigsby is heading into his third season as the Tigers’ premier back. In 2021, he rushed for 1,099 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground and reeled in 21 catches for 184 yards.

Bigsby is one of four athletes from the SEC to be named to the Hornung Award watch list, joining Alabama‘s Jahmyr Gibbs, Mississippi State’s Ja’Quavious Marks, and Texas A&M‘s Devon Achane.
