CLEVELAND – TheÂ

The 10th annual award recognizes the top student-athletes from FCS institutions across 11 different positions. The 2022 class includes student-athletes from 11 different institutions, representing seven different conferences. Voting was conducted by a national panel, consisting of media and sports information directors.
Tom Michael, president of the FCS ADA and director of athletics at Eastern Illinois University reflected, "What an incredible group of young men representing themselves, their respective football programs and institutions both in the classroom and on the field of play. These young men have been amazing at managing all aspects of what represents today's student-athlete at the highest level – in the classroom, on the field and in the community. On behalf of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association, it is a pleasure seeing how bright the future is and sincere congratulations to this year's FCS ADA All-America Team members."
