Saur earns Daktronics NCAA Division II Second Team All-American honors


GOLDEN, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines' Adam Saur has earned Daktronics, Inc., NCAA Division II Second Team All-American recognition for the 2009 season, as announced today by the football national coordinator.

A 6'3", 200-lb. wide receiver from San Antonio, Texas (Clark High School), Saur was also named to the Daktronics Super Region #3 First Team Offense in 2009.  A First Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) selection this fall, Saur led all wide receivers in the Daktronics Super Region #3 voting.  Saur, who established a new single-season program record for touchdown receptions (15) in 2009, tied a CSM single-game record with 14 receptions while establishing career highs in receiving yards (216) and touchdown receptions (four) in the Orediggers' season-ending victory over New Mexico Highlands (November 7th at Brooks Field in Golden).

A Pre-Season All-RMAC and Pre-Season First Team All-RMAC (d2football.com) selection in 2009, Saur was named RMAC Offensive Player of the Week and NFFCC Player of the Week on September 21st before going on to earn RMAC Male Player of the Month (all sports) recognition for September.  Saur led the RMAC in receiving yards (1,219), touchdowns (15) and receiving yards per game (110.8) in 2009.  Saur also finished second in the RMAC in receptions (84) and third in receptions per game (7.6), scoring (8.2 points per game) and points scored (90).  Additionally, Saur finished eighth in the RMAC in all-purpose yardage (110.8 yards per game).  Saur averaged 14.5 yards per catch in 2009.

Saur, who was one of just three players from the RMAC to earn recognition on the Daktronics, Inc., NCAA Division II All-American Teams, departs the CSM football program ranked first in the Orediggers' career record book in touchdown receptions (32).

The Orediggers went 8-3 overall (8-1 RMAC - second place) this fall to secure their eighth winning season in the past nine years.  CSM also placed nine student-athletes on the 2009 Academic All-RMAC football teams.
