KANSAS CITY, Missouri – The Small College Basketball and the National Awards Committee announced Brandon Knapper as one of the Bevo Francis Top 100 on Sunday. The Top 100 Watch List consists of some of the top players from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, USCAA and NCCAA.
 
"Congratulations to the 100 players on the Bevo Francis Award Watch List, as this is a prestigious honor to be included on the list of only 100 players out of approximately 13,000-16,000 players at the small college levels," stated John McCarthy.
 
The Clarence "Bevo" 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.
 
Knapper, a NABC First Team All-American in 2021-22, was also recognized in the 2022 Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List last season.
 
In 2022-23, Knapper leads the Yotes with 294 points in 14 games, averaging 21.0 per game. He also leads the team with 97 field goals made and 48 treys. In the CCAA, Knapper ranks second in points per game, third in total points, third in treys, and second in free throws made.
 
On a national level, Knapper ranks seventh in the country in three pointers per game (3.43), 19^th in points per game (21.0), and 29^th in three-point field goals made (48).
 
Knapper and the Yotes look to maintain first place in the CCAA this week, with games against two second-place teams in Sonoma State and Cal Poly Humboldt in The Den on Thursday and Saturday. You can purchase tickets here or catch the action on the CCAA Network at ccaanetwork.com.
