CHICAGO – Jacksonville quarterback Kade Bell was one of three additions to the STATS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List, Wednesday.

Bell is the active FCS career leader in touchdown passes (85) and ranks second in career passing yardage (8,851). The left-handed signal caller has kept the Dolphins (6-0) as one of just seven FCS teams to remain without a loss. He tied his career high with six touchdown passes in the Dolphins' most recent game and has 17 for the season. He also ranks first in the Pioneer Football League in passing yards per game (312) and will challenge his school-record 3,181 passing yards set as a junior.

Joining Bell as the latest additions to the STATS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List were Connecticut wide receiver Tyler Dube and Lamar running back Kade Harrington.

Previously named to the watch list were quarterbacks John Gibbs Jr. of Alcorn State, Jacob Huesman of Chattanooga, Eli Jenkins of Jacksonville State, Vad Lee of James Madison, Troy Mitchell of Western Carolina, Dakota Prukop of Montana State, Tre Roberson of Illinois State, Alex Ross of Coastal Carolina, Jordan West of Eastern Washington and Dalyn Williams of Dartmouth; running backs Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T, Marshaun Coprich of Illinois State, Khairi Dickson of Saint Francis, Chase Edmonds of Fordham, Johnta' Hebert of Prairie View A&M, De'Angelo Henderson of Coastal Carolina, Dy'Shawn Mobley of Eastern Kentucky and Darius Victor of Towson; and wide receivers Ed Eagan of Northwestern State, Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington, Darrin Peterson of Liberty and Jake Wieneke of South Dakota State.

The Watch List can undergo revision during the 2015 season. A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will vote on the award after the regular season.
