BROOKFIELD, Ill. --- Four Tusculum College student-athletes have been named to the 2012 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region Two Football Team.

Xzanvion Smith and Brian Marshall were named the first and second team all-purpose runners, respectively, while Luke Harris garnered second team safety honors and Andy Rosetti was named the third team punter.

Smith, Marshall and Harris advance to a national ballot, from which the 2012 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America Team will be named later this month.

Smith, a 5-11, 190-pound junior from Anderson, S.C., earns his second All-Region accolade this season, as he was tabbed to the Daktronics All-Region second team last month. He finished as the top all-purpose performer in the South Atlantic Conference, averaging 150.45 yards per game, which is 23rd in the country.

The 2012 All-South Atlantic Conference second team selection posted 1,013 receiving yards this year, which is third in the league and 25th in the country. The Westside High School product becomes only the fourth player in school history to post 1,000 receiving yards in a season. He scored 10 touchdowns, which are tied for the fifth most in the league.

Smith tallied eight TD receptions and returned two kickoffs for touchdowns, covering 83 and 79 yards. He averaged 23.78 yards per kickoff return (8th in TC history), which is second in the conference and 50th in the nation. He returned 27 kickoffs (5th in TC history) for 642 yards (3rd in TC history) this season. He averaged 6.27 receptions (4th in SAC/30th in NCAA II) and 92.09 receiving yards per game (3rd in SAC/27th in NCAA II).

Marshall, a 5-7, 180-pound senior from Chattanooga, Tenn., garnered All-SAC second team honors at running back. He played in eight games in the fall, while suffering a season-ending injury on the opening kickoff of the second half in the Oct. 20 home game against Newberry. On the season, the Ooltewah High School alum amassed 1,308 all-purpose yards, which are the eighth-most in school history, while averaging 163.5 yards per game. Marshall averaged 5.0 yards per carry as he ran for 287 yards on 57 rush attempts, including three touchdowns. He also finished second on the team with his 47 receptions for 398 yards and a TD. He averaged 25.95 yards on kickoff returns (6th in TC history) and 10.83 yards on punt returns (6th in TC history).

Marshall ends his collegiate career as the only player in program history to record 1,000 yards each in rushing (1,091 - 10th in TC history) and receiving (1,170 - 15th in TC history). His 2,975 career all-purpose yards are seventh in Tusculum history while his 23.36 career kickoff return average is the fifth-best by a Pioneer and his 131 career receptions are eighth.

Harris, a 6-1, 210-pound senior defensive back from Floyd, Va., finished seventh in the league in total tackles with 102, marking only the eighth time in school history that a Pioneer has eclipsed the 100-tackle plateau for a season. Harris' 9.27 tackles per game average is the ninth-best in the league and 65th in NCAA II. The Floyd County High School graduate recorded 10 or more tackles on three occasions this season, including a career-high 17 tackles against Carson-Newman, which are tied for the seventh most in TC history. Harris also finished 38th in the country in solo tackles per game (5.09 tpg).

The 2012 All-SAC first team honoree wraps up his TC career with 231 tackles, which are ninth in the Tusculum record book. He was named to the Daktronics All-Region second team last month.

Rosetti, a 5-11, 195-pound senior punter from Kenneth City, Fla., wrapped up one of the most consistent careers at his position in school history. Rosetti, a two-time All-SAC second team honoree, finished second in the league with his 42.09 punting average, which is 15th in the nation and third best in Tusculum history. The St. Petersburg High School product established a TC single-season record with 25 punts inside the 20-yard line, giving him 54 for his career (2nd in TC history). Of his 55 punts this year, 11 were for 50 or more yards with nine fair catches and only three touchbacks. He also went 3-for-5 in passing on his five fake punts, covering 54 yards. He also boomed a pair of career-high 64-yard punts against North Greenville and Lenoir-Rhyne, both the ninth longest in school history.

Rosetti's 39.19 career punting average is the fifth-best in school history, while his 148 career punts for 5,800 yards are both second-most ever by a Pioneer.

The Don Hansen team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988. Don Hansen's Football Gazette began selecting Division II All-Region squads in 2003.
