Former Mainland Buccaneers football player and current University of Central Florida star Adrian Killins was put on the watchlist for the Hornung Award, which is given to college football's most versatile player. Killins was an All-Conference running back and kickoff returner for the Knights last season.

The 5-foot-8, 164-pound speedster rushed for 715 yards and 4 touchdowns and caught 19 passes for 377 yards and 4 touchdowns during his junior campaign in 2018, helping lead UCF to a 12-1 record and a New Year's Six Bowl appearance.
