Toledo junior wide receiver Eric Page is on the ballot. Page is among the leaders in the nation in receiving, as well as kickoff and punt returns. He also has completed four passes in his career.

The Paul Hornung Award, presented by Texas Roadhouse, is awarded annually to the most versatile player in major college football.

College football fans nationwide will have the opportunity to vote for players on the 2011 watch list and any player who has been named to the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll. Results of the fans’ selection on Facebook will count for one vote, adding to the votes cast by the 16-member Selection Committee.

Fans also will have the chance to vote for the winner from among the finalists in a second round of voting starting Friday, Dec. 9.

The Louisville Sports Commission launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son to promote outstanding performances by multi-talented college football players who often go unnoticed.
