Trophy
Paul Hornung’s career on the football field reflected brilliance, versatility and the highest quality.
It is fitting, then, that Hornung chose Steuben crystal – American-made and renowned for its exceptional quality – as the medium for the Paul Hornung Award Trophy, which honors the most versatile player in major college football.
This one-of-a-kind trophy features an 8.25” solid Steuben crystal disc displayed on a hand-worked walnut base finished in a dark onyx stain and accented with sterling silver plaques.
The crystal disc features a spherical portrait of Hornung that appears to float within the sculpture. Below the portrait are three hand-engraved images representing Hornung’s diverse skills as a player: throwing, running and catching.
Each year’s winner has his name inscribed on the plaque adorning this iconic trophy. The recipient also receives a smaller individual trophy, crafted in the same spirit as the original.
