Black College Player of the Year Watch List

Everyone knows about the quarterbacks from Alabama and Clemson. Everyone knows about the running back from Wisconsin. A lot of people know about the receiver from Colorado. Several people know about the tackle from Iowa. Too few know about the best football players from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. On Wednesday, the Black College Football Hall of Fame released it's 2019 Watch List for the Black College Football Player of the Year Award.

Four finalists for the Black College Football Player of the Year will be announced on December 3, 2019. The winner will be presented the Deacon Jones Trophy during the Black College Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on February 15, 2020.

The Watch List candidates have been selected based on past performance and future potential. Additions to the list may be made as the 2019 season progresses. The finalists and the winner will be chosen by a Selection Committee.
