Sep 16, 2025 | Football
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – 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 for the second consecutive time, 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., had a massive game for the Tigers against Troy this past weekend; Smith led the team with 113 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Smith, who totaled 130 all-purpose yards, added in two receptions for seven yards and 10 yards on four punt returns.
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.
For fans seeking more flexibility, the Memphis Football Mini Plan offers access to three premier matchups — Arkansas, Tulsa, and South Florida — starting at just $85.
