Kupp headlines STATS FCS All-Decade Team

By CRAIG HALEY

(STATS) - An All-FCS team of the 2010s decade is subjective, with the list of possibilities going on and on.

But there likely won't be much disagreement that former Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp can be considered the FCS player of decade.

Kupp established 15 FCS, 11 Big Sky and 26 EWU record during an illustrious 52-game career (2013-16) in which his 428 receptions, 6,464 receiving yards, 73 touchdown catches and 124.3 receiving yards per game set all-time marks in the subdivision. He was a four-time first-team All-American and won two top FCS awards presented by STATS, the 2013 Jerry Rice Award (freshman) and the 2015 Walter Payton Award (offensive).

The players on the all-2010s team were talented, consistent and highly decorated, but keep in mind a second team of players would be nearly as impressive as the first team. National powers North Dakota State and South Dakota State lead the way with the 31 selections coming from 22 schools.
