FARGO, N.D. - The North Dakota State football program had four players named to the Stats Perform FCS All-America Team announced Tuesday, Dec. 20.

NDSU fullback Hunter Luepke, left tackle Cody Mauch and defensive end Spencer Waege were named to the first team. Bison left guard Nash Jensen made the second team.

Luepke, a senior from Spencer, Wis., is the second NDSU player selected three straight years to the Stats Perform All-America first team, formerly published by The Sports Network. Bison cornerback Marcus Williams was a three-time Sports Network All-America first-team pick from 2011 to 2013.

This year's four Bison honorees were all selected to upcoming college all-star games. Luepke and Mauch have invitations to the Senior Bowl, Jensen was invited to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, and Waege was invited to the Hula Bowl.

No. 3 seed North Dakota State (12-2) is scheduled to face No. 1 seed South Dakota State (13-1) in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 8, at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The game will be televised live on ABC.
