D2 Football | CIAA Second Round Preview
The list of Harlon Hill candidates were released this week. The list can contain two individuals per conference and this year’s version includes two stellar candidates from the conference. Those candidates are:
Bryce Witt, Quarterback, Chowan (10 games, 2864 passing yards, 31 passing touchdowns, 4 interceptions): Witt, the 2021 CIAA Offensive Player of the Year, led Chowan (7-3) to its best ever record the school’s Division II history, its best start in school history (5-0) and its first ever top 25 ranking. Moreover, Witt ended his career with 99 touchdowns, which is certainly one of the best showings in the conference history. This year, he scored 41 of those touchdowns, including 10 rushing touchdowns, against a myriad of opponents. Witt finished his season in the top 25 in the country in total offense per game (at 301 yards, he currently is at 14th).
Calil Wilkins, Running Back, Bowie State (12 games, 1207 rushing yards, 9 touchdowns):
