KC Concepcion gets the recognition he richly deserves with massive award win

KC Concepcion has been named the Paul Hornung Award winner for the 2025 football season, awarded annually to the most versatile player in the country. With his all-SEC selection at wide receiver, all-purpose, and punt returner, it's clear that his versatility made an impression on the entire country, and he's being rewarded for that.

Concepcion closed the regular season with 886 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns, 2 punt-return touchdowns, and 83 rush yards to go along with one touchdown on the ground. He has a chance to add to those illustrious numbers when the Aggies take the field for the College Football Playoff— with a big game against Miami, he has the chance to break the 1000-yard mark for the Ags.

KC Concepcion recognized as nation's most versatile player with Paul Hornung Award win

The press releases recognizes Concepcion as fourth in the SEC in all-purpose yards, in the top 10 in the nation in six different categories, and one of just nine players in the country that has scored touchdowns receiving, rushing, and on punt returns.

"I’m incredibly grateful and humbled to receive such an amazing honor... The Paul Hornung Award represents doing whatever it takes to help your team win, and that has always been my mindset."

This also is yet another way of demonstrating that Concepcion was such a massive pickup in the transfer portal by Elko and Holmon Wiggins this past cycle. Without him, it's hard to picture the Aggie offense being anywhere near as effective as it has been this year.

This is quite the distinction for Concepcion, who is on his way to a high NFL draft selection this year. His ability to do whatever the team requires, not to mention his absurdly elite ability to separate from high-level corners and defensive backs as a receiver, have him rocketing up draft boards.

There is no honor more deserved— congrats, KC!
