NEW YORK - San José State wide receiver Justin Lockhart was named to the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Award watch list, announced by College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) in association with The Associated Press (AP) and the Fiesta Bowl Organization on Wednesday.
Lockhart missed the 2023 season due to an injury.
Since 2018, the award has recognized college football student-athletes for overcoming injury, illness, or other circumstances.
