Bevo Francis Award


The Bevo Francis Award is an American college basketball award given annually since 2016. The award recognizes the top small college basketball player in the United States for a given season. The award is named after the late Bevo Francis, who earned national acclaim and All-American status for Rio Grande College in the 1950s.
Eligible players must come from below NCAA Division I. Players are eligible if they compete in one of the following college basketball divisions: NCAA Divisions II or III; NAIA ; USCAA Divisions I or II; and NCCAA Divisions I or Division II.
The first winner was Dominez Burnett of Davenport University. Only two schools, Northwest Missouri State University and Nova Southeastern University, have won the award more than once.
