STATS PERFORM – Indiana State redshirt freshman quarterback Elijah Owens was named to the Jerry Rice Award Watch List as announced by the organization on Tuesday afternoon. The recognition comes two weeks after Owens was named the National Freshman of the Week following a standout performance in Indiana State's 31-27 win over Murray State.
Owens is one of 30 players named to the in-season Watch List for the award which honors the FCS Freshman Player of the Year in college football's Division I subdivision. The Rice Award, now in its 14th season, is named after legendary Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.
