Charleston, S.C. – College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) announced its 2022 midseason watch list for the CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year trophy, with graduate quarterback Reece Udinski being one of 30 players named to the list.
 
The CFPA was created in 2009 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.
 
Udinski was named the CFPA FCS National Performer of the Week after his performance in the Stony Brook game where he threw for 357 yards, going 35-42 for an 83.3 completion percentage in less than three quarters of action at Robins Stadium. He threw nearly as many touchdowns (5) as incompletions (7) during Richmond's 51-7 victory over the CAA foe.
 
Udinski has consistently topped the charts in completion percentage and completions per game. Through nine games, he ranks second in the nation in completion percentage at .762 (269-353) and leads in completions per game with 29.89. He has led the Spiders to the best passing offense in the CAA with 290.2 yards per game.
 
So far this season, he's thrown the second-most touchdowns in a single game in program history with five against Stony Brook on Sept. 24. The following week at Elon, he made 58 pass attempts which ties him for second in a single game and his 42 completions from the game rank first all-time in program history.
 
The 2022 CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year will be announced January 13, 2023.
