COMMERCE, Texas -- December 3, 2017 -- Chadron State College football players Truett Box and Colt Foster have been selected by the sports information directors of NCAA Super Region Four to the D2CCA All-Super Region Second Team, the conference commissioners' association announced Friday.

Box, a 6-2, 285-pound senior defensive tackle from Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, had the top statistical season of any RMAC interior lineman and was nominated for the Gene Upshaw Award this fall, which goes to the nation's top senior offensive or defensive man in the trenches. His three forced fumbles tied for first in the nation among interior linemen, his 11.5 tackles for loss were the best in the region at his position, and his four sacks were among the leaders as well for defensive tackles. Box recorded 64 total tackles, finishing fourth on the team. He also recovered a fumble, broke up two passes and intercepted a third, and had three quarterback hurries on the season.

Foster finished his sophomore season as the No. 2 tight end anywhere in NCAA Division II, for regular season receiving yardage, recording 42 catches for 567 yards on the year, with four scores and two point-after conversions. The 6-2, 220-pounder from Hemingford was also a key blocker, particularly near the goal line for the Eagles. Foster had a season-high 79 yards on four catches in the Eagles' November 4 win at Black Hills State, getting the team out to a fast start with a 55-yard touchdown reception, his longest of the season, in the first quarter.

Both players are the first offensive and defensive All-Region selections for Chadron State since 2014, following two special teams honors by punter Zach Smith and returner Cody Paul in 2016.

Foster follows his position coach, Cody Roes, as a Second Team All-Region pick at tight end. Roes earned the distinction in 2013, and went on to receive All-American recognition.
