Hornung rose from humble beginnings in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood, where he was a three-sport star at Flaget High School. He then went on to attend Notre Dame at the suggestion of his mother and Sherrill Sipes, his best friend from high school who became his teammate with the Irish. To this day, Hornung and Sipes are the only two players from the same high school to start in the Notre Dame backfield at the same time.
Then a quarterback, Hornung won the Heisman Trophy in 1956, the same year he graduated from Notre Dame with a business degree. He continues to be recognized as one of the top players in the school’s rich football history.
“The Golden Boy” was the first pick in the 1957 NFL draft, and played mostly halfback for the Green Bay Packers under legendary coach Vince Lombardi, who once called him “the most versatile man ever to play the game.” The Packers would win NFL championships in 1961, 1962, and 1965, as well as Super Bowl I in 1967.
