RMAC-High Four Eagles Named D2CCA All-Region

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State placed four players on the D2CCA All-Region teams for Super Region Four, with linebacker Logan O'Brien and punter Brodie Eisenbraun picking up first-team honors while wide receiver Tommy Thomas and kicker Wilson Yee made the second team. 

It is the first career All-Region honors for all four, who each were previously selected First Team All-RMAC in November. By making the first team, O'Brien and Eisenbraun will be entered on the ballot for D2CCA All-America honors. 

Chadron State's four all-region selections are the most of any RMAC program and tied for the second-most among the super region's 43 institutions. Harding led the way with nine all-region selections, including six on the first team, while the Eagles, Northwest Missouri State and Pittsburg State all had four. 

Additionally, the Eagles were one of only five schools to have multiple first-team honorees, joining Harding, Pitt State, Northeastern State and Black Hills State. O'Brien and Eisenbraun are CSC's first two First Team All-Region players since Hunter O'Connor in 2022. The Eagles had two second-team selections last year (O'Connor and Dax Yeradi) after zero all-region selections in 2023. 

Logan O'Brien adds a First Team All-Region honor to a senior season that has seen the Kearney native named First Team All-RMAC and the RMAC Defensive Player of the Year while winning four Defensive Player of the Week awards. O'Brien ranked top five in the RMAC with 85 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. He also came up with two interceptions and returned both for touchdowns.

Brodie Eisenbraun also earns a First Team All-Region honor after winning an RMAC special award as the conference's Special Teams Player of the Year. Eisenbraun ranks fourth in all of Division II in punting average at 44.16 yards/punt, breaking his own single-season average program record and setting the program career record as well. The Sturgis, South Dakota native put 18 inside the 20-yard line with only four touchbacks and hit two 71-yard punts.

Wilson Yee's second-team selection means that Chadron State has half of the four kicking/punting specialists honored across the all-region first and second teams. Yee, recently named as a Fred Mitchell Award semifinalist, made of 15 of 22 field goal kicks, including a walk-off 47-yard field goal in overtime against Western Colorado and a 58-yarder against CSU Pueblo. 

Tommy Thomas earns the first All-Region honor of his career in 2025 after winning First Team All-RMAC honors for the second time and his third all-conference selection overall. Thomas ranked third in all of Division II with 15 receiving touchdowns (trailing only the two receivers who made Super Region Four first team) and had 949 receiving yards. Thomas set new program records for career receiving touchdowns (31) and receptions (195) over the course of 2025. 

The region's Offensive Player of the Year award went to Western Colorado quarterback Drew Nash while the regional Defensive Player of the Year was Emporia State linebacker Landon Boss. 

By conference, the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAA) led with 15 selections, followed closely by the RMAC with 14, the Great American Conference (GAC) with 12 and the Lone Star Conference (LSC) with just six.
