PITTSBURG, Kan. – Senior fullback Bobby Humphries (Frederick, MD/Thomas Johnson) of the Shepherd University football team earned first team honors and four other Rams were named to the 2010 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America Team today.

Sophomore cornerback Keon Robinson (Fairfax Station, VA/Lake Braddock) was a second team selection, junior running back Tommy Addison (Germantown, MD/Quince Orchard) was a third team choice, while senior offensive lineman Steve Baisey(Laytonsville, MD/Damascus) and senior return specialist Deante Steele (Woodbridge, VA/Potomac) were honorable mention selections.

Humphries, who helped key the Ram running game with his punishing blocking, rushed 13 times for 117 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He added nine receptions for 105 yards

Robinson recorded 10 interceptions on the year, including two that were returned for touchdowns. His 10 interceptions are the most in NCAA II this year, while his .71 average ranks him fourth nationally. He also had 16 kickoff returns for a 21.0 average and nine punt returns for a 9.7 average. Robinson was sixth on the team in tackles with 65 with a team-best 59 solo tackles. He added 11 pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.

Baisey, a first-year starter for the Rams, has keyed the offensive line play for the Rams and helped pave the way for Tommy Addison.

Steele, who gained All-America honors for the third straight year, had a 20.8 kickoff return and a 9.7 punt return average. He earned WVIAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors after his NCAA II record 11th career kick return touchdown keyed a Shepherd victory over West Liberty.

The Don Hansen Division II All-America 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 Don Hansen Football Committee selected All-Super Region teams in December and early January, with the first team and second-team All-Super Region players advancing to the national ballot.

A total of 167 players earned some form of Don Hansen All-America honors. Players from 77 of the 150 football-playing schools in Division II earned Don Hansen All-America accolades.
