December is a special time in the FCS with the playoffs, the Celebration Bowl, and the Early Signing Period. It’s also the time to honor the best players in the subdivision.
HERO Sports recognizes the top players with our Freshman, Sophomore, and All-FCS All-American teams.
Here are the best FCS sophomores in 2022.
NOTE: Some players roster-wise were repeat freshmen or sophomores due to the COVID year. If a player is listed as a freshman or a sophomore on the 2022 roster, they are considered for the Fr. and So. AA teams.
