(Stats Perform) - Fingers are being crossed everywhere that there will be a full college football season this year.

If - when, is more like it, right? - there is a 2020 campaign, the FCS level will feature many outstanding people.

But to whet the appetite for a 2020 campaign, we're listing five to know from each conference (with a collective group sometimes counted singularly). There are 13 conferences plus a set of independents in the FCS, and this is the second of a two-part story.

The first part can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/ycvebx3p.

NORTHEAST

Jason Brown, Saint Francis quarterback - In the NEC's 25th season of football, its top passer must overcome the loss of 90-catch wide receiver Ra'Shaun Henry to a grad transfer.

Aniello Buzzacco, Robert Morris linebacker - The NEC's 2019 tackle leader could do it again because his 131 stops were 50 more than the conference's next-highest returnee.

Tre Jones, Central Connecticut State linebacker - The NEC graduated outstanding defensive players, but CCSU's big outside 'backer (6-3, 255) is out of the shadows and perhaps the conference's most feared defender.

Tom Masella, Wagner coach - The 60-year-old Masella is back coaching at his alma mater for a third time, and now with his fourth different head coaching job.

Sacred Heart running backs - Jordan Meachum rushed for 1,400 yards in 2018, but after suffering a season-ending injury in last year's opener, Julius Chestnut took over No. 1 to rush for nearly 1,500 yards. They're together again.

OHIO VALLEY

John Bachus III, UT Martin quarterback - In a conference of strong signal callers, the 2019 OVC freshman of the year is coming on strong.

Zerrick Cooper, Jacksonville State quarterback - The former Clemson backup has passed for over 3,400 yards in back-to-back seasons.

Dean Hood, Murray State coach - The Racers' new leader knows the OVC well, having led Eastern Kentucky to a 55-38 record, two conference titles and three playoff appearances between 2008-15.

Kordell Jackson, Austin Peay nickelback - The defensive catalyst on the OVC co-champ had nine takeaways and three defensive touchdowns.

Walt Wells, Eastern Kentucky coach - Wells was on the EKU staff for legendary coach Roy Kidd's final six seasons from 1997-2002.

---=

PATRIOT LEAGUE

Grant Breneman, Colgate quarterback - The Raiders had a surprisingly poor season last year and needs their standout senior to get back to his 2017 and '18 form.

Jacob Dobbs, Holy Cross linebacker - All Dobbs did as a freshman was lead the league champion in tackles (93), tackles for loss (12), sacks (six) and takeaways (six).

Fordham linebackers - The Rams' pair of first-team all-league standouts, Glenn Cunningham and Ryan Greenhagen, get into opposing backfields.

Malik Hamm, Lafayette defensive end - The matchup nightmare went from 2018 Patriot League rookie of the year to 2019 defensive player of the year.

Simeon Page, Bucknell outside linebacker - Entering his senior season, Page is No. 1 among active Patriot players in sacks (22½) and third in tackles for loss (34½).

---=

PIONEER LEAGUE

Jake Chisholm, Dayton all-purpose back - Chisholm led the FCS a year ago with over 200 all-purpose yards per game.

Wesley Dugger, Davidson running back - Last year's No. 2 rushing attack in the FCS features a senior who seeks a fourth straight 1,000-yard season.

Dalton Kincaid, San Diego tight end - After Stetson's Donald Parham (2018) and Dayton's Adam Trautman (2019) were unanimous first-team All-America tight ends, Kincaid may be next.

Patty Viverito, commissioner - The PFL is fortunate to have a talented commissioner who also has been in charge of the mighty Missouri Valley Football Conference for 36 years.

Will Warner, Drake safety - Warner seeks to build on his 15 career interceptions - the most among active FCS players.

---=

SOUTHERN

Josh Conklin, Wofford coach - The Terriers seek a fourth straight SoCon title, but Conklin's lineup has the fewest returning starters in the conference.

Drew Cronic, Mercer coach - After replacing his former mentor Bobby Lamb, the Bears' offensive-minded coach will try to lead their first winning conference record.

Brandon Rainey, The Citadel - The Bulldogs are set to contend for the SoCon title behind their gritty offensive leader.

SoCon running backs - Last year's five 1,000-yard rushers in the SoCon are back: The Citadel's Alex Ramsey (grad transfer from VMI), Furman's Devin Wynn, ETSU's Quay Holmes, Chattanooga's Ailym Ford and Mercer's Tyray Devezin.

Reece Udinski, VMI quarterback - Although many of his chief weapons are gone, the two-time 3,000-yard passer set the FCS record with 368 straight pass attempts without an interception last season.

---=

SOUTHLAND

Tom Burnett, commissioner - One of the FCS' more influential commissioners, Burnett guides the host conference for the national championship week in Frisco, Texas.

Clayton Carlin, Sam Houston State defensive coordinator - The fact Sam Houston led the FCS in three defensive categories last season shows how it's not just an offensive program.

Jon Copeland, UIW quarterback - The Cardinals' second-half collapse last season should motivate Copeland, who has passed for 6,325 yards and 44 touchdowns in his first two seasons.

Julien Gums, Nicholls running back - As a sophomore, the Southland rushing leader set program records for rushing yards (1,232) and rushing touchdowns (16).

Breylin Smith, Central Arkansas quarterback - The redshirt junior is second in Southland history in career completion percentage (65.0) behind his coach, former UCA QB Nathan Brown (67.6).

---=

SWAC

Aqeel Glass, Alabama A&M quarterback - The Aggies' offensive leader had six games over 300 passing yards and five with four touchdown passes last season.

Keonte Hampton, Jackson State linebacker - The SWAC defensive player of the year as a sophomore led the conference with 69 solo tackles.

Fred McNair, Alcorn State coach - The original "Air" McNair and fifth-year head coach seems to push all the right buttons for a program that has been to six straight SWAC championship games, winning four of them.

Ladarius Skelton, Southern quarterback - The rising senior tends to get hot at the right time of the season, but he still has to get over the Alcorn State hurdle.

SWAC Championship Game - It's always worth noting this is the only FCS conference with a championship game, now in its 22nd year.
