The Rice Award is named for the legendary Hall of Fame wide receiver and is celebrating its 10th anniversary season. Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is the most prominent winner of the award, and the most recent recipient in 2019, former North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance, is projected to be one of the early selections in the NFL Draft on April 29.

Nettles joins a list that includes Bronson Barron (Weber State), Quinton Cage (Nicholls), Isaac Dowling (Mercer), Draylen Ellis (Austin Peay), Ty French (Gardner-Webb), Mark Gronowski (South Dakota State), Billy Lucas (Duquesne), Seth Morgan (VMI), Tony Muskett (Monmouth), Tommy Schuster (North Dakota), Matthew Sluka (Holy Cross), Devon Starling (Tennessee State), Keyon Turner (Valparaiso), Jared Verse (Albany), and Cameron Ward (UIW).

A 40-member national media panel will select the winner from the unprecedented 2020-21 season, which spanned the fall and spring semesters. The recipient will be announced on May 3.
