Congrats to big Lando! Pretty amazing to see a guy who came in as a 6'7" 220 pound beanpole turn into a 1st team All-American!

Too bad that M. J. didn't make any of the lists.
Kid is having a great year. So consistent and really picked up the slack for a missing DeLuca. (Definitely not a slight on Plank).

Great job by the team this year and the three selected for All American Honors.

The Bison probably would have had 2 more names on the teams had not Deluca and Tanguay gotten hurt.

I think Dempsey belonged on there somewhere. Kid is a straight baller.

I highly doubt a player that played almost all year and was HM All MVFC would be a All American.

Lot's of politics are involved in not only AA selections, but also AC selections.

I thought the same thing when I was looking for his name. Not sure how good the other 1st team WR is but Wieneke is damn good.
