NEW YORK – South Dakota State's Garret Greenfield and Don Gardner were each named to their second All-America squad of the season Wednesday, earning distinction on The Associated Press FCS All-America Team.
A sophomore right tackle from Rock Valley, Iowa, Greenfield earned a spot on the first team as a key part of a Jackrabbit offensive unit averaging 30.1 points and 407.7 yards of total offense per game en route to advancing to this weekend's Football Championship Subdivision national title game. Greenfield was a first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference honoree who earned MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week recognition twice during the spring season.
Earlier this week, Greenfield was a first-team selection to the 2020-21 Stats Perform FCS All-America Team.
Gardner was named to the AP Second Team after a second-team selection to the Stats Perform squad. A senior from Chicago, Gardner stands fifth on the squad with 39 tackles, including three for loss, and shares the team lead with four pass breakups to go along with one interception. As a unit, the Jackrabbit defense is allowing 14.1 points per game and has held two playoff opponents without a touchdown.
Â
Top-seeded South Dakota State, 8-1 overall, will face No. 2 Sam Houston in the FCS title game Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Central at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, with television coverage on ABC.
