Brookfield, Ill. – The Don Hansen Football Committee released their 2025 All-America teams today for NCAA Division II. Daniel Porisch and Jake Adams were named to the honorable mention team, representing Northern State University.
 
The Don Hansen team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., 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.
 
Porisch started all 11 games for Northern State and anchored an offensive line that helped the Wolves rush for 2,538 yards and allow only 12 sacks in 2025. The NSU offense tallied six games with over 400 yards of total offense and led the NSIC in total offense per game with a 456.9-yard average. In addition, the Wolves notched six games without giving up a sack. They ranked top-10 in the country in yards per play and third down conversion rate and top-15 in total offense during the regular season. The senior started all 44 games for the Wolves over the last four seasons and is a first time NSIC All-Conference selection. Porisch was named to the AFCA  All-America team just a day ago. 
 
Adams led Northern State with 93 tackles in just seven games. The junior averaged 13.3 tackles per game which led the Northern Sun and ranked second in the country through the regular season. He tallied a single game career-high of 21 tackles against the University of Sioux Falls and recorded double figure tackles in four contests. Adams broke the Northern State Division II era school record for career tackles against Concordia-St. Paul with his 256th and finished the year with 303. Adams is a 2-time NSIC All-Conference first team selection, 2-time D2CCA All-Region honoree, 2-time Don Hansen All-American, and All-America recipient with the D2CCA, AP, Walter Camp, and D2Football.com.
