Austin Peay State Univeristy senior running back/return specialist Terrence Holt has been named a preseason favorite at both positions for the 2010 College Football Performance Awards.

This is the first year the organization has made players from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) eligible for the 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.

As prominent scholars from a wide variety of disciplines note, CFPA eliminates the politics and biases that vitiate balloting-based awards. Furthermore, CFPA is the only awards organization to receive praise from both Republican and Democratic White House officials for promoting objectivity and fairness in college football.

The awards are given in 13 total categories, including Performer of the Year, Defensive Performer of the Year and positional Performers of the Year.
