FCS FAN VOTE: Who’s The Midseason Favorite To Win The 2019 Buck Buchanan Award?

We have reached the middle of the 2019 FCS football season. Talk is starting to heat up about who the front-runners are for the four major awards.

Those major awards, presented by STATS FCS, are the Walter Payton Award (best offensive player), Buck Buchanan Award (best defensive player), Jerry Rice Award (best freshman) and Eddie Robinson Award (best coach). 

Our FCS staff put together a list of candidates who currently deserve to be in the discussion for those awards. Check out the candidates below for the Buck Buchanan Award and let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll.
