CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Continuing a great tradition of elite defensive players at Northern Iowa, senior linebacker Jared Farley was named to the STATS FCS Buck Buchanan Award Watch List on Wednesday.
The Buchanan Award was first awarded in 1995 and is presented to the FCS defensive player of the year. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on 25 finalists following the regular season.
"It's a great honor to be on the Buck Buchanan Watch List," Jared Farley said.
