GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Redshirt sophomore running back Otis Weah can add one of the nation’s premier backs to his resume after the 2020-21 season, as he was named to the Stats Perform FCS All-America First Team on Monday.
This is the first All-America honor for Weah and the fifth year under Head Coach Bubba Schweigert that the Fighting Hawks have had at least one player selected to a team.
The Moorhead, Minn., native also becomes the first running back to earn an All-America selection at the position since moving to Division I in 2008, joining Ryan Chappell in 2006 and 2007 as the last running backs honored. Fellow backfield star, John Santiago, earned selections in 2015, 2016 and 2017 as a return specialist and all-purpose player.

After capturing its 27th conference crown and becoming the first team in the Missouri Valley Football Conference to do so in its first year in the league, nine North Dakota student-athletes were named to the conference’s all-league teams on Thursday. The voting was conducted by the MVFC and featured coaches, sports information directors and select media from each school.
The Fighting Hawks, who played as an FCS Independent during the 2018 and 2019 seasons, saw two players earn All-MVFC First Team selections for the first time in their careers.
Running back Otis Weah led the conference in nearly every rushing category, pacing the league in yards per game (114.0), yards per carry (7.50) and total touchdowns (7). The redshirt sophomore found pay dirt in every game this season, including a pair of two-score games in the wins over South Dakota State and South Dakota.
