Division III Football - Sports Information DIrector All-America Teams
(and compilations of other teams)

From 1978 to 2002, college sports information directors selected a Division III All-America team. The team was sponsored by Pizza Hut from 1983-89, Champion USA from 1990-93, Hewlett Packard from 1995-2002, and was listed under a “sports information directors” title from 1978-82 and in 1994.
 
Below are links to most of the official releases of those teams. Each year is in its own file, and there is also a file that includes all of the releases combined. In 1992 and 1993, a student-athlete of the year was also chosen, and those releases are below as well. These are searchable PDF files, but some names don't appear to come up when searching, so please check the lists carefully.
 
The following years of sports information directors teams are currently missing:
 
1978
1979 (news clipping is below with 1st and 2nd teams only)
1981
1987
 
In addition, Kent Stephens at the College Football Hall of Fame has compiled a list of Division III football All-American as chosen by various outlets, including the sports information directors teams, D3football.com, AFCA, the Associated Press, and Don Hansen’s Football Gazette. A link to that compilation is below.
 
The following Don Hansen teams are missing from the College Football Hall of Fame's compilation (in addition to the missing SID teams listed above):
 
1986
1990
1991
1992
1994
2000

The 1999, 2005 and 2006 Don Hansen teams are also not in the compilation, but a non-searchable PDF file with those teams is available here.

 
If you have any of the official releases of the missing sports information director or Don Hansen teams, please send them to fran.elia@cortland.edu. We are not looking for individual player names from just specific schools, but the actual complete releases of those teams.
