Rozeboom, Brown receive preseason accolades

Posted

BROOKINGS – South Dakota State University linebacker Christian Rozeboom and cornerback Jordan Brown were tabbed Tuesday as members of the STATS FCS Preseason All-America Team.

A junior from Sioux Center, Iowa, Rozeboom was selected to the first team after posting his second consecutive 100-tackle season for the Jackrabbits in 2017.

Rozeboom registered a team-high 127 tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss, notching 10 or more tackles in seven of the team’s 14 games. A two-time first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection, Rozeboom added three fumble recoveries and a pair of interceptions to earn a spot on multiple postseason All-America teams a year ago.

Brown, a senior from Scottsdale, Ariz., earned third-team recognition on the preseason All-America squad.

In earning first-team all-MVFC honors last season, he tallied team bests of nine pass breakups and three forced fumbles, while ranking second in both tackles (72) and interceptions (3).

Overall, 98 players from 56 schools across all 13 Football Championship Subdivision conferences were honored on the STATS FCS Preseason All-America Team. Of the 98 players, 16 were from MVFC schools.
