For the third time in his college football career at Dordt University, Pella Christian graduate Alex Huisman was selected as a First Team All-American by the Associated Press.
Huisman was previously chosen as an AP First Team All-American in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, the senior offensive tackle was a Second Team All-American selection this season by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). The AFCA honor was also a third for Huisman, who was a First Team Selection in 2020 and 2021. The former Eagle adds the All-American honors to a list of accolades that includes being a three-time Great Plains Athletic Conference First Team selection, two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, and four-time NAIA-Daktronics Scholar-Athlete selection.
This past fall, Huisman started eight of the team’s 10 games at left tackle, helping the Defenders score an average of 28.7 points per game and gain 389.1 yards per game, which ranked 21st in NAIA.
Dordt finished Huisman’s senior season with a 7-3 overall and conference record. The Pella Christian Alum will graduate with degrees in both biology and chemistry. Read more about Huisman’s prior two All-American selections with the links below.
