FCS Stats Perform has released the midseason watch list for the 2023 Jerry Rice Award

Stats Perform released a midseason watch list of 22 FCS players for the 2023 Jerry Rice Award, which is awarded to the best freshman in the subdivision each season.

To be eligible for the award, a player must be considered a freshman by his conference in his first or second academic year without surpassing four games played in the previous academic year - similar to the NCAA's redshirt rule.
