LITTLE ROCK — Bryant Hornets seniors Devonte Howard and Jordan Jones have been selected for the watch lists for the 2013 Farm Bureau Awards.
The Farm Bureau Awards honor Arkansas’ top offensive player, defensive player and coach of the year for each classification. The veteran staff at Hooten’s Arkansas Football selects three finalists for each category, and those 45 finalists and their families are invited to attend the Farm Bureau Awards on Dec. 16.
Howard, who has played quarterback in the Wildcat formation and wide receiver, has rushed for 373 yards on 50 carries and caught 22 passes for 312 yards. He also completed 8 of 12 passes for 73 yards and a score. Jones, a pre-season all-State pick, had his promising senior season end prematurely midway through by a knee injury.
Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company senior vice president-state manager David Moore said, “Farm Bureau hopes all of the players on this year’s watch list continue to perform well the rest of the season. They represent some of the best student-athletes in our state. Farm Bureau is proud to honor excellence as the title sponsor of this outstanding event.”
Farm Bureau Insurance has supported education and community involvement in Arkansas for more than 50 years.
