Athlon Sports Honors Vandenburgh With All-America Honors

NORMAL, Ill. — Illinois State senior outside linebacker Zeke Vandenburgh has earned a spot on the 2022 Athlon Sports FCS Postseason All-America Team – a banner list of 30 players who represent 23 schools and nine conferences.

The All-America honor is the sixth for Vandenburgh this offseason, as he previously earned honors from HERO Sports FCS, The Associated Press, the FCS ADA, Stats Perform and the AFCA. The elite pass rusher also recently landed in the Top 3 in the voting for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is given to the FCS National Defensive Player of the Year and was named a First-Team Academic All-American by the College Sports Communicators (CSC).
