BROOKFIELD, Ill. - Concordia-St. Paul senior running back Jaylin Richardson turned in another honor following his exceptional football career, being named 2024 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America honorable mention, as announced on Friday.

The Don Hansen team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on August 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Illinois, started and published Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988.

Richardson is the first Golden Bear recognized by the Don Hansen All-America Team since 2018 when Marcus Haskins was a first-team selection and Chris Garrett was a third-team pick.
