Jackson State Fabian McCray was one of 20 players named to the inaugural Urban Edge Network HBCU+ FCS National Player of the Year Award Preseason Watch List, released by the organization on Thursday morning.
McCray hauled in 41 receptions for 584 yards and four touchdowns including a season-long 47-yard reception. He recorded a season-high eight receptions for 79 yards against Alabama State, and another seven against UAPB. McCray recorded a season-high 109 yards against Alcorn State with a pair of touchdowns. He was named Preseason All-SWAC earlier this month before being named a Preseason BOXTOROW All-American on Wednesday.
The award will honor the nation’s best HBCU player – regardless of position – from 21 programs spread across the FCS, including in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. A national panel of voters will select the winner after the regular season. The recipient will be announced on Dec. 9 and invited to the Stats Perform FCS National Awards Banquet on Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas.
