Northwest Missouri running back Xavier Omon and
Delta State linebacker Michael Eubanks highlight the 100 players named to the

There were 54 schools represented. Grand
Valley, who carried a 40-game winning streak into the national semifinals, had
the most first-team selections with three. Abilene Christian led with six
overall selections.
After being the first running back in history
to rush for 1500 yards in four different seasons, Omon was named the Offensive
Player of the Year. Eubanks, the all-time sack leader in Division II
history, was named the Defensive Player of the Year. Valdosta State coach
David Dean, who led the Blazers to a championship in his first season as head
coach, was named Coach of the Year.
