D-III All-American Update

GeorgeSaint — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:30:43 +0000

PINEVILLE – Rising Louisiana College wide receiver senior wide receiver Jordan Rideaux (Carencro, La./Carencro High) has been named to the 2010 D3 Senior Classic Preseason All-American Team.

Rideaux, who last season became LC’s first AFCA first-team All-American, was named to South Second-team on offense and is the first Wildcat to receive such an honor.

The D3 Senior Classic is the premier post season all-star game showcasing the talent of senior players on the NCAA Division III football level. This game is held annually ( December) at Salem Stadium, home of the NCAA National championship game, in Salem Virginia. Last year the selection committee chose 2 players who were not on anyone’s All-American list; Brandon Drumgoole, Defensive End, from Greensboro College (SC) recently drafted by the Hartford Colonials of the UFL and Joel Rivera, Wide receiver, from William Patterson College (NJ) a free agent selection by the New York Jets.

“Through the D3 Senior Classic game, we are proud and excited to promote the outstanding talent, quality and character of football players found on the Division III Level.” Peter St. Lawrence stated, “The announcement today of our preseason All-American team, reflects our commitment to promote the exceptional fans, coaches, and players found on the D-III football level.”

The D3 Senior Classic organization has partnered with the Beyond Sports Network (BSN) for the player selection process during the 2010 season. The BSN network will host a platform by which players can provide their profiles, general information, and updated stats for the selection committee to review. Player Invitations will begin to be mailed beginning in the preseason and will continue until the November 15, 2010 commitment deadline. 92 players will participate in the 2010 game, represented in a North vs South format. Last year the North won 14-0.
