WESTMONT, Ill. - Sacramento State seniors Charles Roberts and Anthony
Daisley and junior Terence Wagner each earned All-America honors by
Dan Hansen's Football Gazette it was announced today. Roberts was
named to the first team, Wagner garnered second-team honors and
Daisley earned honorable mention.
Roberts, who is now a three-time All-American, became the most
prolific rusher in NCAA Division I-AA history and ended his career
with 5,633 yards. The Montclair, Calif., native rushed for 1,624
yards and 14 touchdowns to help lead the Hornets to a 7-4 overall
record and a 5-3 mark in the Big Sky Conference this past season.
During his four-year career, Roberts set or tied nine national
records, eight Big Sky marks and 20 Sacramento State records. The 5-6
tailback owns the national single-game (409 yards), single-season
(2,260 in 1998) and career (6,533) records. Roberts, who was named
co-Most Valuable Player of the Big Sky in 2000, has also been named
to the Associated Press and The Sports Network All-America teams this
season.
Wagner, who was a unanimous first team all-Big Sky selection in 2000,
has started all 33 games in his career at center for the Hornets. The
Sacramento, Calif., native was the lone veteran on a young offensive
line that emerged as one of the best in the league.
Daisley completed his second year with the Hornets by leading the
team with 100 tackles. The Rialto, Calif., native was a first team
all-Big Sky selection after recording 19 tackles-for-loss including
six sacks. The outside linebacker becomes just the second Sacramento
State defensive player to earn I-AA All-America honors - joining
linebacker Ryland Wickman who was named to the third team in 1998.
Daisley ended the year with 70 unassisted tackles, two forced
fumbles, one fumble recovery and one safety.
