The Analyst/FCS Release
 
BRONX – Fordham senior linebacker James Conway has been named a finalist for the 2024 FedEx Doris Robinson Award. He is one of 13 finalists - one from each NCAA FCS conference.
 
The Doris Robinson Award is celebrating its 10th anniversary season and honors an FCS student-athlete who exemplifies excellence on the field, in the classroom and across the community. The values embody the leadership and integrity championed by Doris Robinson, a former schoolteacher and the wife of legendary Grambling State University coach Eddie Robinson.
 
Conway, who has been limited to two games this fall by injury, is second on the Fordham career tackles list with 417, eight shy of Ryan Greenhagen's school record of 425. He is also sixth on the Patriot League career tackles list, 15 short of Jacob Dobbs's (Holy Cross) League record.
 
A 2024 Preseason All-American by Stats Perform (Second Team) and Preseason All-Patriot League selection, Conway earned First Team All-Patriot League honors last year as well as being named Academic All-Patriot League and CSC Academic All-District.
 
Each finalist will be profiled on TheAnalyst.com in November before the recipient will be announced on Dec. 10, then honored at the Stats Perform FCS National Awards Banquet on Jan. 4 in Frisco, Texas.
