Very well deserved. Congratulations Justin!

We will miss him! I hope he gets a shot at the next level.

That's great. Congrats to the all time receptions leader. Now all we need is for him or SC to win the MVP in the Birmingham Bowl.....

He's earned it

The Bulworth Award? Is he a rapper?

You could try reading up on it first, so you don't come off sound like well an arse.

"When Brandon Burlsworth arrived on campus in 1994, he had no money, no famous last name, and absolutely no Division 1 scholarship offers. Through his unbelievable work ethic and ceaseless determination, Brandon not only earned a scholarship, but became team captain, All-SEC 1997-1998, First Team All-SEC 1998, Football News First Team All-American in 1998, and the first All-American from the University of Arkansas in a decade.

His success was not limited to the gridiron. He was also named to the All-SEC Academic Honor Roll every year from 1995-1998, and was the first football player in the entire history of his university to earn a Masters degree “before” playing his last game.

Brandon was selected by the Indianapolis Colts as the 63rd overall pick in the 1999 NFL draft. After minicamp, he was projected by his coaches to start as a rookie. Unfortunately, Brandon was tragically killed in a head-on automobile collision just 11 days after the draft."

I guess you haven't seen the movie Bulworth.

And I know what the Burlsworth trophy is, Einstein. Houston had a walk on WR with more career TDs (43) and more career receiving yards (4507) than Justin freaking Hardy who was a finalist for the award in 2011.

By the way, he also overcame a Marshall band cart that snapped his leg in two as a freshman.

Deserves everything he gets. Hardy was exceptional.

Moral of the story, don't be a disrespectful,

He's a projected 2nd rounder. I see him as the next T.Y. Hilton.

Glad to see Justin get some accolades after being left off the B'koff Award list. Hope to see him on Sundays next year

Hardy (and for that matter Carden, too) deserves any award he gets. Congratulations

Great story....Vanceboro NC...25 miles from Greenville. He deserves every accolade bestowed on him.

I have to say I noticed something in the video....... His protege...Isaiah Jones and his comments on how much he had learned from Justin... Look for this young man to chase his records. He is the son of former ECU and Dallas Cowboy's Robert Jones. This kid is a player.
