Three members of the Carroll College Saints football team have laid claim to all of NAIAFOOTBALL.NET's individual post season honors. Quarterback Tyler Emmert has been named the Offensive Player of the Year for the second season in a row while teammate Gary Cooper won the Defensive Player of the Year honors. Their mentor, Mike Van Diest, has been named the NAIAFOOTBALL.NET Coach of the Year for the second time in the last four years.

"The talent on this season's All-American team is tremendous," said Jason Dannelly, owner/editor of Dannelly Media and NAIAFOOTBALL.NET, "Its makes it very tough when you travel the country all season to view NAIA football games and come back to try tp say who is the best. You get halfway through the list and realize their are some great players who made fourth team All-American or only honorable mention. It just proves there is great talent level the NAIA."

Overall Carroll College claimed six players as First Team All Americans while St. Francis followed with five. The next closest was Morningside with two. This is the fourth season that NAIAFOOTBALL.NET has released an All-American Team as well as the fourth season that the team has been presented by Engravers Edge.
