2025 Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List
Sophomore
Christian Green has been named to the Top 100 Watch List by the National Awards Committee and Small College Basketball (SCB), marking his second consecutive year receiving this honor. The list highlights standout players from NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, USCAA, and NCCAA programs three months into the season.
"Congratulations to all 100 players on the Bevo Francis Award Watch List," said SCB Founder John McCarthy. "Being selected as one of only 100 out of approximately 13,000–16,000 players across NCAA DII, NCAA DIII, NAIA, and NCCAA levels is a remarkable achievement. While this is ultimately an individual award, we prioritized team success as a key factor in our selection process."
