Cade Johnson, a junior from Papillion, Nebraska, set an SDSU and Missouri Valley Football Conference single-season record with 17 touchdown receptions in 2018 en route to receiving All-America accolades from both HERO Sports (second team) and STATS (third team). He also led the team with 67 receptions and 1,332 receiving yards in topping the 100-yard mark in six games.
Pierre Strong burst onto the scene in the second half of the 2018 season, earning Missouri Valley Newcomer of the Year honors after rushing for team highs of 1,116 yards and 11 touchdowns. The sophomore from Little Rock, Arkansas, needed only 100 carries to reach the 1,000-yard plateau and ended up averaging 9.5 yards per carry for the season as he posted 100-plus yards in five of the team’s final six games.
On defense, senior linebacker Christian Rozeboom also was a first-team selection. The Sioux Center, Iowa, native posted his third consecutive 100-tackle season with a team-best 105 stops in 2018. He also recorded a team-best 10.5 tackles for loss, adding three forced fumbles and two interceptions while receiving third-team All-America recognition from both HERO Sports and Phil Steele.
Both of the Jackrabbits’ second-team honorees are members of the special teams unit – senior kicker Chase Vinatieri and junior long snapper Bradey Sorenson.
