Eleven Big Sky Conference football players were selected to the College Sports Journal FCS All-America Team, which was released on Monday.

The Big Sky Conference led all leagues with 11 players on the All-America team, closely followed by the Colonial Athletic Association and the Missouri Valley Conference with 10 apiece.

The 63 players on the CSJ All-America squad represent 63 scholarships at the FCS level and the team is put together in such a way as to be a fully-functioning squad, with all positions on offense, defense and special teams.

Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp was named to the Freshman of the Year. He was joined on the team by fellow Eagles Vernon Adams (QB), Ashton Miller (Center), and T.J. Lee III (CB).

Northern Arizona running back Zach Bauman, Montana offensive tackle Danny Kistler Jr., and North Dakota WR Greg Hardin were also named to the the offense.

Montana State's Brad Daly (DE), Cal Poly's Sullivan Grosz (DT), and Montana linebacker Jordan Tripp were tabbed to the defensive team, along with Lee III. Portland State's Kyle Loomis was selected as a punter.

There was also a group of 42 honorable mention selections, bring the total number of players on the team to 105, which matches the number of athletes that FCS teams can have on their rosters.

Southern Utah kicker Colton Cook and Montana defensive end Zack Wagenmann earned honorable mention honors.

The College Sports Journal team is also unique in the fact that it is one of only two major teams that is announced after all games are played in FCS, the College Sporting News squad being the only other one that waits until the season is concluded.

The CSJ All-America team was selected by a blue ribbon panel of FCS experts put together by College Sports Journal executive editor David Coulson and CSJ publisher and managing editor Chuck Burton.

Coulson has 36 years of experience covering college football, including 21 seasons of following FCS and has served as the executive editor and managing partner of College Sporting News and the executive director for The Sports Network, running its national awards program from 2007-2009.

He has had a hand in selecting honors teams at the FCS level since 2002 and is in the process of writing and compiling the first FCS encyclopedia.

Burton has been acclaimed for his Lehigh Football Nation blog and as a national columnist for College Sporting News in the past decade.
