Four 'Birds named Hansen All-Americans, six all-region         

[DEC. 30, 2005]  WESTMONT -- Don Hansen's Football Gazette 2005 NCAA I-AA All-America Team had a little different look than the majority of the pre-released all-America teams this season, but one thing was consistent, with junior wide receiver Laurent Robinson earning first-team accolades.

Joining Robinson on Hansen's All-America Team were senior offensive lineman Stafford Davis, second team; junior linebacker Cameron Siskowic, second team; and senior defensive end Brent Hawkins, honorable mention.

Robinson, Hawkins and Siskowic also earned first-team honors on the NCAA I-AA Northwest All-Region Team, while Davis and fellow offensive lineman Mike Stegeman garnered second-team all-region accolades, and punter Ryan Hoffman was named to the third team.

Robinson was previously named a first-team all-America selection by the Walter Camp Foundation, The Sports Network, the American Football Coaches Association, CollegeSportsReport.com and the Associated Press, while being named a I-AA.org All-Star.

The 2005 Gateway Offensive Player of the Year finished the regular season ranked No. 1 nationally in yards per game, with 133.2, and No. 2 in catches per contest, with 7.8. He set league and school season marks with 1,465 receiving yards on a conference-tying-best 86 catches. He posted six 100-yard receiving games, including two games of 200 yards or more, highlighted by his 292 receiving yards on 14 catches against Indiana State in the season finale. The Rockledge, Fla., native finished the season with 12 touchdown catches.
