South Dakota State University cornerback Jordan Brown and wide receiver Cade Johnson were honored Tuesday as members of the 2018 STATS FCS All-America Team.
Â
A senior from Scottsdale, Arizona, Brown earned second-team recognition after leading 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.
Â
Last week, Brown was honored on the Associated Press FCS All-America Third Team. He has been selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game Jan. 19 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Â
Johnson, a sophomore from Papillion, Nebraska, received third-team honors after leading the Missouri Valley Football Conference in nearly every receiving category, including receptions (67), receiving yards (1,332) and touchdowns (17). His 17 touchdowns also set school and league single-season records.
Â
In addition, Johnson was honored Tuesday on the HERO Sports FCS Sophomore All-America Team as an all-purpose player. Besides his receiving prowess, Johnson recorded 462 kickoff return yards in 2018, averaging 27.2 yards on 17 attempts, and added 24 rushing yards to give him 1,818 all-purpose yards for the season.
Â
SDSU 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.
