The Clarence “Bevo” Francis Award is presented annually by Small College Basketball to the player with the best overall season in small-college basketball. A committee of college coaches narrowed the list down to 100 players from over 1,100 colleges and universities and took into consideration individual statistics and achievements, awards, personal character and team achievements.

On February 15, the list will be reduced to the Top 50 players. One month later on March 15, the top-25 players will be announced. On April 4, the finalists of this year’s award will be announced, followed by the Bevo Francis Award winner being crowned on April 6.

Jasinsky is the only GNAC player represented on the Top 100 Watch list and is one of just three NCAA Division II West Region players listed, joining UC San Diego’s Christian Oshita and Azusa Pacific’s Selom Mawugbe.
