PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Senior quarterback Jeremy Moses has been named to the 2010 Walter Payton Award Watch List announced Sports Network officials Monday afternoon. Moses is one of 20 players, including seven finalists from 2009, who is receiving early consideration for FCS' top individual honor.
Moses was the highest vote-getter among the returning players, finishing in seventh place. A preseason All-America selection, Moses closed out his junior campaign earning Southland Conference Player of the Year honors after completing 68 percent of his passes for 4,124 yards and 40 touchdowns.
He guided the `Jacks to the 2009 SLC title and the second round of the FCS playoffs. SFA finished the season ranked among the top 10 in all the major FCS top 25 polls. The Lumberjacks also led the nation averaging nearly 344 passing yards per game.
Despite having one year of eligibility remaining Moses already owns the schools career marks for completions, touchdown passes, passing yards and total offense. He is on pace to graduate as the conference's all-time leader in all four categories, as well as finishing among the nation all-time top 10.
The Payton Award is in its 24th season and will be presented to the FCS national player of the year on Thursday, Jan. 6 in Frisco, Texas - the night before the national championship game.
