Hornsby Nabs Top Defensive Honor
RICHARDSON, Texas — Senior defensive end Hank Hornsby has been named the American Southwest Conference Defensive Co-Player of the Year and 16 other Cowboys earned accolades in voting among the league’s coaches.
Hornsby, who was a force on the defense live for the Cowboys, had 59 tackles including 12 for losses and six sacks. He also broke up five passes. He was also named the ASC Defensive Lineman of the Year.
“First, I give all the glory to God,” said Hornsby. “It is a great honor to receive this award. I’ve worked really hard throughout my career and to have all of the coaches in the ASC to give me this honor, I am truly humbled and blessed.”
Eight Cowboys were named to the All-ASC first team. Hornsby was joined by senior linebacker Roy Gamboa and junior safety Caleb Christian. The offense, which finished the year ranked No. 1 in the nation, had five players on the first team.
Senior slot back ZaVious Robbins, senior guard Cody Honeycutt, junior tackle Koby Parker, junior running back Derrick Grant and senior tight end Aaron Willman all made the first team. Parker and Grant were two of just three non-seniors on the first team.
Senior quarterback Justin Feaster and senior safety Cooper Haralson were named to the second team.
Freshman linebacker Joe Sanders, junior defensive end Garrison Hardin, junior cornerback Jay Wise, sophomore center Travis Sugar, junior tackle Ross Hutchinson, sophomore placekicker Scott Newberry and senior slot back Thomas Labian were all named honorable mention.
Louisiana College quarterback Ben McLaughlin, who led the nation in passing yards and set an ASC record with 42 TD passes, was named the offensive player of the year. Jordan Rideaux of Louisiana College was named the special teams player of the year, Peter Ford of LC was named the freshman of the year and Pete Fredenburg of Mary Hardin-Baylor was named coach of the year. Quincy Daniels of UMHB, Cody Finch of East Texas Baptist and Jack Moses of Texas Lutheran were named the tri-sportsmanship athletes of the year.
