WICHITA FALLS, Texas — Midwestern State players received mention in the USA College Football Division II All America teams released Saturday afternoon.

Senior tight end Mark Strange and senior center Shadow Stokes were named to the first team and senior safety Dayvyon Henry garnered third-team honors while offensive lineman John Rowell, deep snapper Bobby Joe Nielsen and punter Mitchell Henton were named Freshman All Americans.

Strange, a first-team All-Lone Star Conference performer, logged eight catches for 91 yards with two touchdowns, but used his strong blocking skills to aid MSU's rushing attack.

The Wichita Falls native closed his career with 33 receptions for 426 yards and four touchdowns.

Stokes, a senior from Kilgore, became the fourth offensive lineman in MSU history to repeat as a Daktronics all-region selection earlier this month joining All-Americans Tony Burson (2006, 2007), Amini Silatolu (2010, 2011) and Ken Van Heule (2011, 2012) as Mustangs to achieve the feat.
 
Stokes is a two-time All-Lone Star Conference performer who also became the third MSU offensive lineman to garner LSC Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in the last five seasons last month.
 
He was tabbed to the All-Super Region Four's second team by Daktronics and Don Hansen's Football Gazette in 2013.
 
The 6-3, 290-pounder anchored an offensive line which paved the way for NCAA Division II's ninth best rushing attack (274.5 yards per game) as the Mustangs also ranked 14th in total offense churning out 493.7 yards per game.

Henry, a Plano East Senior High product, played in eight games at the safety position finishing with 57 tackles including a season-high 14 against West Texas A&M.

Rowell, a product of Dulles High in Stafford, Texas, served as a starter for one of the best offensive line units in NCAA Division II as MSU averaged 493.7 yards of total offense per game.

Nielsen, who earned All-Lone Star Conference honorable mention, served as MSU's primary deep snapper as a true freshman out of Lampasas High School.

Henton earned second-team All-LSC honors after leading the league and ranking 11th in NCAA Division II with a 42 yards per punt average.
 
The redshirt-freshman out of Lake Highlands High boasted six punts of least 50 yards and placing 12 inside the 20-yard line.
 
Midwestern State (6-4) completed its 15th consecutive season with a winning record.
