Noah Vonleh was on the midseason watch list for the award last season, Yogi Ferrell was on it during the 2012-2013 season and Cody Zeller was on the midseason watch list for the 2011-2012 season.

The USBWA has chosen a national freshman of the year since the 1988-89 season, but an Indiana player has never won the award.
