Retzlaff Earns First-Team Honors, Fuller, Prince II and Smith Earn Honorable Mention Honors

BROOKFIELD, Ill. – Colorado State University Pueblo landed three football players on the 2025 Don Hansen Division II All-America team that was released this week by the Don Hansen Football Committee.

The ThunderWolves named 2025 Don Hansen Division II All-America selections were redshirt senior receiver Reggie Retzlaff (Corona, Calif./Riverside City College), earning first team honors, while senior quarterback Roman Fuller (Decatur, Texas/Decatur), senior offensive lineman Domingo Prince II (Aurora, Colo./Cherry Creek), and junior kicker Jackson Smith (Centennial, Colo./Santa Barbara City College) earning honorable mention recognition.

With the 2025 Don Hansen Division II All-America Team selection, Retzlaff has now been named to all four All-America teams that were announced this week, with a first-team selection to the Associated Press and second-team selections to both the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Division II Conference Commissioners' Association (D2CCA) teams.

The Pack quartet of players consists of four of the 16 players from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference who were named to one of the Don Hansen Division II All-America Teams. Retzlaff was one of four league players named to the first team, joining Retzlaff were Black Hills redshirt junior receiver TJ Chukwurah, Chadron State redshirt senior linebacker Logan O'Brien, and Colorado School of Mines redshirt freshman punter Lucas LeSieur. The RMAC players on the second team were New Mexico Highlands freshman running back Jeffrey Jones, Chadron State redshirt senior receiver Tommy Thomas, and Western Colorado redshirt senior quarterback Drew Nash, earning a spot as an all-purpose player.

In addition to the seven players named either the first or second team, nine players earned honorable mention accolades. Besides Fuller, Prince II, and Smith, the other league players to earn honorable mention nods were Chadron State punter Brodie Eisenbraun, Chadron State kicker Wilson Yee, Fort Lewis linebacker Jacob Penney, New Mexico Highlands defensive back Trevor Romaldo, Western Colorado offensive lineman Zach Brumfield and Western Colorado defensive lineman Ricky Freymond.

Retzlaff repeats as a First-Team Don Hansen Division II All-American accolade at receiver after repeating as both a First-Team All-RMAC selection and D2CCA All-Super Region Four selection and being a repeat nominee for the Harlon Hill Trophy this season. 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.

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).
