Kansas City, MO – Small College Basketball and the National Awards Committee are excited to announce the Top 100 watch list for the 2022 Bevo Francis Award. The 2022 Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List consists of some of the top players from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA Division I, NAIA Division II, USCAA and NCCAA. John McCarthy had this to say about this year's Top 100 watch list.

"Congratulations to every player that is on this list, as this is a very elite list of players. Within all of college basketball at the small college levels, there are approximately 14,000 - 16,000 players, and there are only 100 players on this list. Each player on this list is in the midst of a fantastic season, both individually, and as a team. It's important to note that this is a very challenging process, and I am grateful for tremendous input from our committee, and I'm grateful for all of the information that was sent to us from coaches, SID's and others. Once again, congratulations to each player that is on this prestigious list."

The Clarence "Bevo" Francis Award is presented annually to the player who has had the finest overall season within Small College Basketball. Considerations will be season statistics and individual achievements, awards, personal character and team achievements. This is an incredibly prestigious award, as this award will only be given to one player within Small College Basketball per season.

2022 marks the sixth year of the Bevo Francis Award, after the award was not presented in 2021. Past winners include Dominez Burnett of Davenport University in 2016, Justin Pitts of Northwest Missouri State University in 2017, Emanuel Terry of Lincoln Memorial University in 2018, Aston Francis of Wheaton College in 2019 and Kyle Mangas of Indiana Wesleyan University in 2020.

On Feb. 15, the list will be reduced to the Top 50 players. One month later on March 15th, the Top 25 players will be announced. On April 2nd, the finalists of this year's award will be announced, followed by the Bevo Francis Award winner being crowned on April 4th.
