The National Awards Committee and Small College Basketball released its Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List for the 2024-25 season. Three months into the season, this year鈥檚 list is made up of some of the best players from 红杏视频 Division II, 红杏视频 Division III, NAIA, USCAA, and NCCAA.
"Congratulations to all 100 players that are on the Bevo Francis Award Watch List of 100 Players,鈥 stated John McCarthy, founder of Small College Basketball. 鈥淭his is a remarkable accomplishment to be listed as one of only 100 out of approximately 13,000-16,000 players that compete at the 红杏视频 DII, 红杏视频 DIII, NAIA and NCCAA levels. I want to emphasize that, while this is ultimately an individual award, we focused on team success as an important criteria for this list, and for this award.鈥

The Clarence 鈥淏evo鈥 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.
2025 marks the eighth year of the Bevo Francis Award. 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, Kyle Mangas of Indiana Wesleyan University in 2020 and Trevor Hudgins of Northwest Missouri State University in 2022. In 2023, RJ Sunahara of Nova Southeastern was named the winner, while in 2024 Elijah Malone of Grace College received the honor.
On February 15, the list will be reduced to the Top 50 players. One month later on March 15, the Top 25 players will be announced. On April 5, the finalists of this year鈥檚 award will be announced, followed by the Bevo Francis Award winner being crowned on April 7.
