BROOKFIELD, Ohio — Fort Lewis College wide receiver
Justin Johnson was named to the
Don Hansen National Weekly Football Gazette All-Super Region #3 second team football squad, the Don Hansen Football Committee announced today.
Johnson, a 5-foot-11, 185-lb. senior from St. Augustine High School in San Diego, Calif., ranked among NCAA Division II leaders in several categories in 2010, including receptions per game (third, 8.90), receiving yards per game (fourth, 124.2), total receiving yards (tenth, 1,242) and all-purpose yards per game (47th, 127.1).
He led all Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference players in receptions and receiving yards. Earlier this fall, he was named to the Daktronics All Super-Region #3 second team, the All-RMAC first team and the Preseason All-RMAC team. He was also selected to play in the 17th Annual Cactus Bowl at 7 p.m. (CST) on Friday, Jan. 7, 2011, in Kingsville, Texas.
He led the entire NCAA Division II in receptions per game (11.8) in 2009, a season that saw him earn second team All-RMAC honors.
“He's an outstanding football player who deserves all the recognition he gets,” said first-year Skyhawk head coach
Cesar Rivas-Sandoval.
Fort Lewis finished the season with records of 3-7 overall, 3-6 in the RMAC, good for a sixth-place tie. The Skyhawks lose just 10 seniors to graduation.
The team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published
Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988.

The first and second team all-region selections advance to a national ballot from which the 2010
