Retzlaff Repeats as 2025 AP Division II First-Team All-American

OMAHA, Neb. – Colorado State University Pueblo redshirt senior receiver Reggie Retzlaff (Corona, Calif./Riverside City College) has repeated as a 2025 First Team Associated Press NCAA Division II All-American on Wednesday afternoon.

The AP All-America honor is the third this season for Retzlaff, as he was named a Second-Team AFCA Division II Coaches All-American and a Second-Team D2CCA All-American.

The honor marks the third All-America recognition of the 2025 season for Retzlaff, who was also named a Second Team AFCA Division II Coaches All-American and a Second Team D2CCA All-American. He becomes just the third ThunderWolves player to earn multiple AP Division II All-America honors, joining Darius Allen(First Team, 2013 & 2014) and C.J. Roberts (First Team, 2012 & 2014).

Retzlaff, who is one of six repeat selections from last year's AP Division II All-America Team, earns his First-Team AP Division II All-America accolade at receiver after repeating as both a First-Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) selection and D2CCA All-Super Region Four selection and being a repeat nominee for the Harlon Hill Trophy this season. The other repeat selections this season were Western Colorado's Drew Nash, Slippery Rock's Joe Cooper, Hillsdale's Shea Ruddy, Harding's Clark Griffin and Western Colorado's Ricky Freymond.

During the 2025 season, Retzlaff ranked second in the league in receiving yards (993) and yards per game (90.3), and led the league in receiving touchdowns (16) and receptions (72), and receptions per game (6.55). He also ranked third in scoring with an average of 8.7 points per game and fifth in all-purpose yards per game (90.3) during the 2025 season.

Retzlaff, who was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week and NFF Colorado Chapter Player of the Week following the Colorado School of Mines game, set the school's career marks for receptions (187), receiving yards (3,026) and receiving touchdowns (40), along with setting new single-season school records this season for receptions (68) and touchdowns (15) and had a single-game school record 14 receptions in the 2025 regular season finale against 22nd-ranked Chadron State and is second on the school's all-time scoring chart with 240 points. He recorded two or more touchdown receptions in six games and had four games this season with seven or more receptions.

Additionally, Retzlaff, a nominee for the 2025 Harlon Hill Trophy, leads all Colorado football receivers (at all levels) in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. Retzlaff, who is one of two players in school history to record 1,000 or more receiving yards in a season, had a team-best 16 plays of 20 or more yards, including three touchdown receptions of 20 or more yards. At the end of the regular season, Retzlaff, who was named the 2024 RMAC Offensive Player of the Year, closed out the season as the active Division II leader in career touchdown receptions (40) and is fourth among active D-II players in career receiving yards (3,026) and is the D-II active leader in career receiving yards per game (91.7). Additionally, he is seventh among all active D-II players in career touchdowns with 40, which is fourth in the state of Colorado history. He also tallied 11 career games with 100 or more receiving yards, including a school record 241 yards in last season's opener at South Dakota Mines.

Retzlaff was one of seven players from the RMAC named to one of the two 2025 AP Division II All-American Teams. The other RMAC players selected were Black Hills State redshirt junior receiver TJ Chukwurah (First Team), Chadron State redshirt senior punter Brodie Eisenbraun (First Team), New Mexico Highlands freshman running back Jeffrey Jones (Second Team), Chadron State redshirt senior receiver Tommy Thomas (Second Team), Western Colorado redshirt senior all-purpose player Drew Nash (Second Team), and Western Colorado redshirt senior defensive lineman Ricky Freymond (Second Team).
