Central Missouri quarterback Zach Zebrowski is among four players who were repeat first-team selections to The Associated Press Division II All-America team announced Wednesday.
Joining Zebrowski were Wingate defensive lineman Marquise Fleming, Augustana (South Dakota) defensive back Peyton Buckley and Colorado Mines punter Blake Doud.
Zebrowski, who won the 2023 Harlon Hill Trophy as Division II's most outstanding player, threw for 40 touchdowns in 12 games and averaged 393.7 yards passing per game.
Ferris State dual-threat quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was named first-team all-purpose player. Chambliss has thrown for 23 touchdowns and run for 23 more heading into Saturday's national championship game against Valdosta State in McKinney, Texas.
Zebrowski and Chambliss are among six finalists for the Harlon Hill who are on the first team. The others are Charleston (West Virginia) running back Chavon Wright, Virginia Union running back Jada Byers, Valdosta State quarterback Sammy Edwards and CSU Pueblo wide receiver Reggie Retzlaff.
The All-America team is selected for the AP by a panel of sports information directors representing the four Division II super regions.
