  2022 JERRY RICE AWARD WINNER: QB Gevani McCoy, Idaho,...One of the key aspects of the University of Idaho entering the 2022 season with a freshman starting quarterback was Gevani McCoy's reactions after plays. They were often the same whether the result of a play was positive or negative for the Vandals. McCoy's even-keel demeanor at football's most-important position was as pivotal as the production he supplied during Idaho's surprising run to the FCS playoffs. It all combined into the redshirt freshman becoming a runaway winner among 25 finalists for the Stats Perform Jerry Rice Award, which is presented to the national freshman of the year in college football's Division I subdivision. A 54-member panel voted on the 12th annual award - named after legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice, who starred at Mississippi Valley State as part of his Hall of Fame career - with UAlbany quarterback Reese Poffenbarger finishing second and Saint Francis wide receiver Makai Jackson third. McCoy will be honored at the FCS National Awards banquet on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.

In Idaho's first four seasons after returning to the FCS from the FBS level in 2018, the Vandals did not finish with a winning record, either overall or in the Big Sky Conference. This season, first-year coach Jason Eck and his staff selected the 6-foot, 175-pound McCoy as the starter following a preseason competition, and the decision paid off. After the Vandals opened the campaign with back-to-back competitive losses to FBS opponents, they went on to win at rival Montana and go 7-4, including a 6-2 Big Sky mark and a tie for third place in the 12-team conference. They lost 45-42 at Southeastern Louisiana in the playoffs. McCoy, who played in 11 of the 12 games, threw for at least three touchdowns five times, and he set the Vandals' single-game record for completion percentage by going 18 of 20 (90 percent) in a win at Northern Arizona. He finished the season 203 of 297 (68.4 percent) for 2,721 yards and a freshman-high 27 touchdowns against seven interceptions with a 170.6 passer rating that ranks fifth in the FCS. He also rushed for three touchdowns and caught one. - STATS FCS Football
