Drake University tight end
Eric Saubert has collected his fourth All-America honor of the year by being named second team HERO Sports FCS All-America. Previously, Saubert had been selected to the
Associated Press, AFCA and STATS FCS All-America teams for his efforts on the field.
Saubert, a fifth-year senior, ranked second among tight ends in the nation in receiving yards per game (70.5) and receiving touchdown (10). He led Drake with a career-best 56 catches for 776 yards receiving this past fall and recorded a career-high 136 yards receiving on eight catches against Morehead State (Sept. 24). He earned his third first-team All-Pioneer Football League honor last month.
In addition to this year's four All-America honors, Saubert was named to All-America teams by the Associated Press, STATS FCS and the FCS ADA last season.
Also joining Saubert on the HERO Sports FCS All-America teams was Stetson's Donald Payne and San Diego's Jonah Hodges.
