Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - An impressive 11 different positions were represented among the 25 Jerry Rice Award finalists when voting began on Monday. The Rice Award, now in its fourth season, and named for the legendary wide receiver who starred collegiately at Mississippi Valley State, honors the top first-year player on the FCS level of college football, whether a true freshman or a redshirt freshman. A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the Rice Award. The winner will be announced Dec. 15 at The Sports Network FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation. The Rice Award has been a barometer for FCS greatness. The first three winners have been former Towson running back Terrance West (2011), now with the Cleveland Browns, and two 2014 Walter Payton Award finalists for FCS player of the year, Villanova quarterback John Robertson (2012) and Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp (2013).
