Here are the finalists for the awards. NDSU has a chance at all four (technically speaking).

NDSU Nominees

Payton- Trey Lance

Buchanan- Derek Tuszka

Rice- Trey Lance

Robinson- Matt Entz

The biggest snub that I noticed was that Ben DiNucci is not on the list for the Payton. I thought he had a chance to be a finalist. I could easily see Eric Barriere winning the Payton as team record is never a factor in these things and stats are king. In all fairness, Barriere has been an absolute stat monster and is a pretty good player.
