The Mid-South Conference (MSC) announced Tuesday that 10 Shorter College football players have been named to the 2006 Western Division All-Conference teams.

Two players from Shorter made the list twice: Fabian Daniel (pictured above) and Lukas Gonzales. Daniel was named to the first team for both offense and defense for his roles as slotback and kickoff return specialist, while Gonzales made first team offense as place-kicker and second team defense for punter. Shorter College had more players on the defensive team than any school in the division.

“I’m real excited and proud of what all these guys have been able to do this year,” said head coach Phil Jones. “I’m looking forward to their future as players, especially since these guys are receiving these honors early in their careers. This makes us feel like we’re on solid ground as a team with a lot to offer.”

The list is as follows:

1^st Team Offense – OL Zach Morrison, SB Fabian Daniel, PK Lukas Gonzales

2^nd Team Offense – OL Steven Johnson

1^st Team Defense – DL Josh Pidgeon, LB Logan Lollis, DB Bud Keith, DB Will Oliver, KRS Fabian Daniel

2^nd Team Defense – DL Curtis John, LB Ryan Gloer, P Lukas Gonzales
