I don’t think the Hornung Award knows what “versatile” means... Joel Lanning got robbed.

Not to take anything away from @saquonb21 cuz I think he‘s the best all-around player in CFB but... idk how much more versatile a player can get in @JFL_02 the man literally played QB(threw and ran for TDs) and led our defense in tackles!!!

Barkley runs with the ball on offense ANNNDDD runs with the ball on kick returns?? So versatile!! Joel Lanning only played MLB, QB, and special teams, which isn't all that versatile. Nice choice fellas https://t.co/wVvz4UOSdY

Unbelievable......the selection committee for this award should be ashamed of themselves. How do you not pick Joel Lanning ???? https://t.co/FVhvC7NZwS

This is probably true and all but NO JOEL LANNING?!?!?!?!? https://t.co/NK7Q9MaCce

For what, because he can squat more than Joel Lanning? What a joke. https://t.co/RfbhDzwHNC

Barkley is an amazing player. AMAZING. But, Joel Lanning of Iowa State deserved this award. #snubbed https://t.co/8ks2YFkXEp

John Walters said it best. “If Joel Lanning doesn’t win the Paul Hornung Award there outta be an investigation.” Guess what he did not win it. What an absolute joke!!

I'm indignant on behalf of Joel Lanning like I know the guy or something. #ExtendedFrogFam #FaberStrong https://t.co/GJSUtbk6Eb

All respects to Barkley, definitely a great football player. But MY winner plays the entire game on offense, defense or special teams, AND has the character to help change an ENTIRE program- THAT is versatility. It’s no surprise my winner is @JFL_02. Go Cyclones! https://t.co/u49fkGcv1G

S/O to my dude @JFL_02 on being so versatile this year! #Cyclones pic.twitter.com/37Yp5ZtqFM
