A lot of Bison in the honorable mention category but I'd say there's no huge surprises here. This is a tough conference to crack the first team on.

From the best defense in the FCS to having no guys on the first-team all-conference defense in one season.

Everybody on that defense is going to need to take a big step this season.

And there Coprich isn't going to miss any games according to Coach Spack.

This is a tough conference to crack the first team on.The honorable mention list are 1st teamers in most other conferences. Very deep talent this year in the MVFC. A lot of guys that will see time in NFL camps over the next few years. And another friggin Underwood at ISU-blue? They have 3 guys on the 1st team defense? Ok, enjoy that little accolade while NDSU runs for 400 yards on the ground against you.

D progresws is going to fun to watch. We lost our top 5 defenders listed by total tackles. That is a very very large amount of production to replace. We will find out if we truly reload or if we will need to rebuild. It is a great year to not have many questions on offense. Coaches have a ton of work to do this fall camp.
