Waco, TX (NSUWolves.com)– The American Football Coaches Association released the 2025 NCAA Division II All-America honorees earlier today with Daniel Porisch named to the second team on offense. Porisch is the first offensive lineman All-American for the Wolves since Eric Cuka in 1999 and 2000.
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.
