Butler Named To FCS Jerry Rice Award Watch List

PRINCETON – Ryan Butler has been named to the 2022 Stats Perform FCS Jerry Rice Award Watch List, which is presented to the national freshman of the year in college football's Division I subdivision.

Butler has rushed for 364 yards and nine touchdowns this season while adding eight receptions. He's averaging almost five yards a rush and has earned Ivy Rookie of the Week four times.

To be eligible for the Rice Award, a freshman must be in his first or second academic year and can't have surpassed four games played in the previous academic year – similar to the NCAA's regular redshirt rule. More players can join the watch list before a national media panel selects the winner following the regular season.

Also this season, Stats Perform will present the Walter Payton Award (FCS offensive player of the year), Buck Buchanan Award (FCS defensive player of the year), Eddie Robinson Award (FCS coach of the year) and FedEx Ground Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Princeton (5-0, 2-0 Ivy) makes the trip to Harvard (4-1, 2-0 Ivy) on Friday night for a nationally televised game on ESPNU.
