In that way – hard work and a commitment to excellence Keelan Doss – Walter Payton Award Finalist 10 powered by a love of sport – STATS and FCS football mirror each other. It’s Chris Streveler – Walter Payton Award Finalist 12 been three seasons since STATS took the baton from The Sports Network Andrew Ankrah – Buck Buchanan Award Finalist 14 as media custodian of the subdivision, and we couldn’t be prouder of how it’s turned out.

Austin Andrew O’Neill WR Sacred Heart Justin Watson WR Penn Alex Pechin P Bucknell Jake Wieneke WR South Dakota State Fidel Romo-Martinez P Delaware State 7 In the 30-year history of the Walter Payton Award, only one player has taken home the trophy twice. The second one could be a player who wasn’t even part of the FCS three years ago – or the FBS, for that matter. Jeremiah Briscoe didn’t have a home on either level after the 2014 season when UAB disbanded its football program, though it didn’t take long for Sam Houston State to scoop him up. That move paid off big-time when Briscoe set an FCS single-season record with 57 touchdown passes in 2016 as part of his Payton Award-winning season. The TD passes don’t quite compare this year – that had something to do with him adjusting to a new offensive coordinator – but Briscoe’s 45 still lead the FCS by a wide margin. That total along with completing 335 passes for just over 5,000 passing yards have Briscoe in position to possibly take home the hardware again. “It’s been an absolute roller coaster,” Briscoe said. “If someone would have told me 3½ years ago where I’d be right now, I’d tell ‘em they were a liar. It’s been unbelievable.” The only player to win the Payton Award twice was Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards in 2008 and 2009. The idea of Briscoe pulling off the feat didn’t even enter his mind coming into his senior season. “It was something that I really didn’t think about winning again and now it’s kind of become a reality. It’s pretty crazy,” Briscoe said. “If I do end up winning it, being the second person to win it twice and back-to-back, it’s indescribable because of all the great players that have come through FCS and how many years this has been going on.” - Justin Einhorn 8 9 Keelan Doss finished his junior season at UC Davis with more than twice as many yards as he had Twitter followers. That second number is about to get a serious bump. From a skinny high school receiver whose only scholarship offer came from UC Davis to a 6-foot- 3 standout whose hands are seemingly made of Stickum, Doss is now one of three finalists for the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award, given to the subdivision’s top offensive player – and that’s just the beginning for the Alameda, California, native. Whether he decides to forego his final season of eligibility or stick around for another year with the Aggies, the NFL is calling. There figure to be more than 700-some FCS diehards following him on Twitter when he answers.
