LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Memphis running back Sutton Smith has been named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll and was tabbed as the Paul Hornung National Player of the Week, it was announced Tuesday.
The Paul Hornung Award, presented by Texas Roadhouse, is presented annually to the most versatile player in major college football.
Smith, a redshirt junior out of Powder Springs, Ga., recorded 74 yards on the ground, 43 yards in the air and 54 yards on punt returns for a total of 171 all-purpose yards. The dynamic running back also punched in his second touchdown of the season in the team's opening drive of the game.
New this year, fans are encouraged to purchase early and save. Ticket prices will increase by $5 during game week ($10 for Arkansas) and again by an additional $5 on game day ($10 for Arkansas) at the Box Office. This change helps support enhanced planning for security, concessions, and staffing. Historically, over 90% of single-game tickets are purchased during game week. Tickets are available AT THIS LINK.
Season ticket prices remain unchanged from 2024, following a perfect 7-0 home campaign. With prices averaging under $25 per game, season tickets remain the best value for Tiger fans. Tickets can be purchased online at GoTigersGo.com or by calling the Memphis Ticket Office at (901) 678-2331.
