NORFOLK, Va. -- Rising senior Prentice Gill (Los Angeles, Calif.) was named to the Wide Receivers Watch List by the College Football Performance Awards.
The purpose of the College Football Performance Awards is to provide the most scientifically rigorous conferments in college football. Recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams.
After playing two years at Los Angeles Harbor College, Gill joined the Monarchs last season making 41 catches for 686 yards as ODU's second leading receiver. Averaging 62.4 yards per game, Gill was the first Monarch to crack the 100-yard receiving mark in a game and did so three times in 2010. The California native captured a career-high 154 yards at Monmouth and also recorded 133 yards against #14/16 Cal Poly. Gill had a pair of touchdown receptions in ODU's road win at Monmouth and also had touchdown receptions in games with Jacksonville, at Hampton, and VMI.
Gill is the second Monarch to be named to a College Football Performance Award Watch List. Thomas DeMarco was named to the quarterbacks watch list in mid-May.
As the 2011 season approaches, College Football Performance Awards will be releasing a preseason watch list each week from now until pre-season. For more information on the College Football Performance Awards, click here.
