Brevard College fullback Jordan Ollis has been selected to the 2012 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America Third Team.

Ollis carried the ball 129 times for 558 yards and seven touchdowns for the Tornados in 2012. The sophomore also caught four passes for 30 yards.

The Don Hansen Football Committee selected All-Super Region teams in December and early January, with the first-team and second-team All-Super Region players advancing to the national ballot.

A total of 175 players earned some form of Don Hansen All-America honors.  Players from 83 of the 157 football-playing schools in Division II earned Don Hansen All-America accolades. National Champion Valdosta State and national semifinalist West Texas A&M led the way by placing eight players apiece on the All-America squad.
