        The AFCA has selected an All-America team since 1945 and currently selects teams in all five of its divisions. What makes these teams so special is that they are the only ones chosen exclusively by the men who know the players the best - the coaches themselves.

          Release: Tuesday 12/06/2011






          College Sports Madness All-America Teams

          College Sports Madness has named University of Northern Iowa senior linebacker L.J. Fort its National FCS Defensive Player of the Year, the media outlet announced Tuesday. In addition, UNI senior defensive tackle Ben Boothby was selected as a first-team All-American.

          Fort leads the nation in tackles with 167 total stops in 12 games. He needs four more tackles to break the UNI single-season record of 170 set by Joe Anderson in 1981.

          Fort has posted at least 10 stops in every game this season and 12 or more tackles on 10 different occasions. He is tied for second among all FCS players with six forced fumbles. Fort had also previously been named the 2011 Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-MVFC selection. He is among the finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in FCS, selected by The Sports Network.

          Boothby led the Missouri Valley Football Conference with 16.0 tackles-for-loss and was the top Panther with 16.0 sacks this season. He has tallied 75 total stops from his defensive tackle position.

          Boothby has been a first team All-MVFC selection in each of the last two seasons and is a three-time first-team pick for academic all-district honors. He is also among the finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award.

          UNI will take on the Montana Grizzlies in Missoula, Mont., in the FCS Quarterfinals on Fri., Dec. 9, at 7 p.m.

                        I've never heard of "College Sports Madness" before reading this post?

                        How many years has this pestigious award been given out?

                        seems more like a player of the day award than anything actually nationally known?

                            Yes that's him alright that's Dirty McSurdy and he comes by that nick name honestly if not dishonorably. Believed to be the player who has committed more helmet to helmet hits that have gone uncalled than anyone in ncaa history. very crafty that one is.
                            Trumaine Johnson is very likely headed to the NFL, he is just as likely to be headed to prison sometime also. Those two are quality beyond compare,which is similar to saying the smell from that sewer is beyond compare.
