FLORENCE, Ala. -- A field of 34 initial nominees has been trimmed to 10 national finalists in regional voting for the 2017 Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II College Football Player of the Year. The finalists were selected by the NCAA Division II sports information directors in regional voting and will now be placed on the national ballot where all 169 of the division's SIDs will select the award's 32nd winner. The top two players from Super Region 3 and Super Region 4 advanced to the national ballot, while three players advanced from Super Region 1 and Super Region 2 due to ties in the voting. The list of 2017 finalists is comprised of five quarterbacks, three running backs, one receiver and a defensive lineman. Five of the finalists helped lead their teams into the 2017 NCAA Division II playoffs and two are on team's competing in this weekend's quarterfinal matchups.
Advancing from Super Region 1 are senior quarterback Connor Jessop of Shepherd University (W.V.), junior running back Marc Jones of Gannon University (Pa.) and senior defensive end Marcus Martin of Slippery Rock University (Pa.). Super Region 2 is represented by junior quarterback Amir Hall of the Bowie State University (Md.), junior running back and kick returner Devontae Jackson of the University of West Georgia and junior quarterback Harry Satterwhite of the University of West Alabama. The top vote getters in Super Region 3 are junior quarterback Brook Bolles of the University of Central Missouri and senior receiver J.T. Luper of the University of Central Oklahoma. Advancing from Super Region 4 are senior running back Ja'Quan Gardner of Humboldt State University (Calif.), and senior quarterback Luis Perez of Texas A&M University-Commerce.
Martin is just the tenth defender in 32 years to be named a Hill Trophy finalist and is the first since 2007. Perez and Satterwhite will quarterback their respective teams in this weekend's NCAA Division II quarterfinal playoff games, while Gardner was the 2015 Hill Trophy runner-up. There have been 645 all-time Harlon Hill Trophy nominees since 1986 from 161 different NCAA Division II institutions.
National voting will conclude on December 9 and the winner of the 2017 award, which is presented by the National Harlon Hill Award Committee, will be announced on Friday, December 15. The winner will be honored at a luncheon on the University of North Alabama campus on January 5, 2018.
