WACO, Texas — South Dakota State University linebacker Christian Rozeboom was named to his fourth Football Championship Subdivision All-America team this week, earning a spot Friday on the first team selected by the American Football Coaches Association.
Â
A senior from Sioux Center, Iowa, Rozeboom posted his fourth consecutive 100-tackle season with a team-high 111 stops in 2019, including six tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. He also recorded two interceptions, forced three fumbles and recovered a pair of fumbles.
Â
Rozeboom tallied double figures in tackles six times during the 2019 season en route to becoming the Jackrabbits' career tackles leader with 475. He anchored an SDSU defense that limited the opposition to 16.7 points and 294.8 yards of total offense per game.
Â
Rozeboom earned second-team AFCA All-America honors in 2017.
Â
Earlier this week, Rozeboom was named to first-team All-America squads by HERO Sports and STATS. He also was a second-team honoree by The Associated Press.
Â
South Dakota State made its eighth consecutive appearance in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs during the 2019 season. The Jackrabbits finished with an 8-5 overall record, including a 5-3 mark in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
