DURHAM, North Carolina – North Carolina Central University return specialist Adrian Wilkins has earned College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS National Return Specialist of the Year honors. Wilkins was named the winner of the 2013 CFPA FCS Elite Kickoff Returner Award.
A sophomore out of Forest City, N.C., Wilkins contributed five total return touchdowns during the 2013 season. He averaged 30.3 yards per kickoff return with three touchdowns and 13.4 yards per punt return with two touchdowns.
"Congratulations to Adrian Wilkins on his nation-best return specialist performance in 2013," said CFPA Executive Director Brad Smith. "Wilkins produced the top overall return performance since the inception of the CFPA FCS Awards."
Wilkins joins an elite group of CFPA postseason winners, including Colin Kaepernick, Dez Bryant, Earl Thomas, Patrick Peterson, and Tyrann Mathieu. Twenty-one CFPA winners have already been first-round NFL Draft selections. This year, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston took home the CFPA National Performer of the Year Trophy, while Eastern Washington's Vernon Adams earned the CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year Trophy.
All CFPA winners are selected based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. Learn more at CollegeFootballPerformance.com and follow CFPA on Twitter @CFPerformance.
