Hornung, nicknamed the "Golden Boy," won the Heisman Trophy in 1956 as the year?s outstanding player in United States College football and is the only player from a losing team (his University of Notre Dame team finished 2-8 that year) ever to win the trophy. Highly versatile, Paul Hornung was a quarterback who could run, pass, block and tackle and is the person most football observers consider as the greatest all-around football player in Notre Dame history. In the 1956 season, he led his team offensively in passing, rushing, scoring, kickoff and punt returns and punting. He also played defense and led his team in passes broken up and was a team second in interceptions and tackles made.
