Vandals' McCoy named Jerry Rice Award finalist

Idaho redshirt freshman quarterback Gevani McCoy was named one of 25 Jerry Rice Award Finalists by Stats Perform, the organization announced Monday.

The award is given to the national freshman of the year for the FCS subdivision.

McCoy is one of five quarterbacks on the list. He is the only quarterback to lead his team to the FCS playoffs. He also has the most touchdowns passes among freshmen with 25 and is second with 2,376 yards despite missing the season finale at Idaho State.

He is first in completion percentage (68.0%) and in passer rating (168.4). He has only thrown five interceptions so far this season.

Of the 25 players on the list, only five are playing in the playoffs. Saint Francis WR Makai Jackson, UC Davis DB Rex Connors, William & Mary DB Jalen Jones and Montana punter Patrick Rohrback join McCoy in the postseason.

McCoy missed the regular-season finale against Idaho State but is expected to return to lineup against Southeastern Louisiana in the first round of the FCS playoffs on Saturday (4 p.m. PST, ESPN+).
