BOCA RATON, Fla. – With just two home games remaining on the 2023 schedule, Florida Atlantic University football’s eyes turn to Eastern Carolina University and preparation for the Pirates and this Saturday’s 4 p.m. contest.
Florida Atlantic (4-5, 3-2 AAC) is set to play host to ECU (1-8, 0-5 AAC) in a game that is slated for ESPN+ at 4 p.m. When you watch the Owls, it is impossible to miss 2023 Biletnikoff Award hopeful LaJohntay Wester. The junior from Palmetto, Florida either holds or is on pace to hold every FAU receiving record. But his versatility is what caught the eyes of the Paul Hornung Award. The Paul Hornung Award, presented by Texas Roadhouse, will recognize the nation’s most versatile player.
No one represents this more than Wester. Last week alone, Wester recorded 219 receiving yards and three scores. He added a three-yard rushing TD and two punts for a total of 43 yards. His efforts equated to more than half of the team’s total yards. Now that is versatile. While Wester earned a spot on this week’s Paul Hornung Honor Roll, he knows he can’t do it alone on the field or for national recognition. This award is selected by a committee of 17 sports journalists, former NFL stars and you, the fans, make up the 18th vote. Please vote for LaJohntay Wester, who is listed at the bottom in alphabetical order. Click HERE and vote once a day through November 12.
