PUEBLO, Colo. (GoThunderWolves.com - Dec. 14, 2012) - The honors keep rolling in for Ryan Jensen (Sr., Fort Morgan, Colo.) and C.J. Roberts (So., Boynton Beach, Fla.) as each were named AP Little All-America selections.

Earlier this week, both Jensen and Roberts were named Daktronics All-Americans, as well.

Jensen, a second-team selection, enjoyed a stellar senior season for the ThunderWolves, never allowing a sack all season long.  He was named one of eight finalists nationally for the Gene Upshaw Award, honoring Division II's top lineman.  His AP Little All-America honor marks his third All-American honor of 2012, earlier being named to the Beyond College Sports Network team and the Daktronics team.  

Roberts, a-third-team selection, who became a starting cornerback for the first time in 2012, becomes a second-team All-American after converting five interceptions for 187 yards and two touchdowns, setting a CSU-Pueblo single season record for interception return yards as well as a career record.  It is his second All-American honor of 2012.

Jensen and Roberts are just the fourth and fifth ThunderWolves in program history to be named "AP Little All-American," a team consisting of only Division II standouts.  In 2010, tailback Jesse Lewis was named to the team, and in 2011, linebacker Lee Meisner and kicker Kyle Major earned the AP honors.
