Division III All-American Team
An outstanding season on the field has yielded
some prestigious postseason awards for UW-Stevens Point senior quarterback
Scott Krause, who has been named a first-team All-American by Football
Gazette, the College Sports Information Directors and D3football.com.
Krause, the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference Player of the Year, is the 13th player in UW-Stevens Point
history to earn a first-team All-American honor.
The Waunakee native is the first UW-Stevens Point
first-team All-American since defensive back Andy Palzkill was tabbed by
Football Gazette in 1999. Krause is the third UW-Stevens Point quarterback
to earn first-team honors, joining Reed Giordana in 1977 and Kirk
Baumgartner in 1987-89. He is the fourth UW-Stevens Point player to be
named to the first team on three All-American teams in the same year,
joining Baumgartner, Clint Kriewaldt and Chuck Braun.
Only one quarterback is selected to the first team
by each All-American squad. Tyler Matthews of Linfield (Ore.) or Dan Cole
of Rensselaer Poly Institute (N.Y.) were the second-team
quarterbacks on all three teams.
Krause led the NCAA Division III in the regular
season with 37 touchdown passes, marking the fourth-highest season total in
WIAC history. He threw for 2,963 yards with just nine interceptions and
completed a school-record 66.1 percent of his passes. Krause ranked second
nationally in passing efficiency and fifth in total offense, while rushing
for 322 yards and four touchdowns. He completed 74.0 percent of his passes
and threw for 14 touchdowns over the final four games of the season.
UW-Stevens Point finished 8-2 overall and ranked
11th in Division III in total offense, including 10th in passing offense.
