WACO, Texas – South Dakota State cornerback Jordan Brown was honored on his fourth All-America squad of the season Friday, earning first-team recognition on the 2018 American Football Coaches Association’s FCS Coaches’ All-America Team.

A senior from Scottsdale, Ariz., Brown led the Jackrabbits with 12 pass breakups, while ranking second on the team with three interceptions. Of his 29 tackles, 22 were solo stops. He also forced a fumble. A two-time first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, Brown has been selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game Jan. 19 in St. Petersburg, Fla.

In the past 10 days, Brown also has received All-America recognition from HERO Sports (first team), STATS (second team) and the Associated Press (third team).

Brown served as a team captain for a South Dakota State squad that finished the 2018 season with a 10-3 overall record and made its seventh consecutive appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Jackrabbits reached the semifinal round for the second year in a row after earning the No. 5 national seed.
