D2CCA All-Super Region 4 Football Teams

GOLDEN, Colo. - Six members of the Colorado School of Mines football program have been named to the D2CCA All-Super Region 4 teams as the year-end regional awards were announced Dec. 5.

Punter Blake Doud, wide receiver Flynn Schiele, and left tackle Nic Van de Graaf earned first-team spots, while linebackers Jaden Healy and Adrian Moreno and reciever Max McLeod appeared on the second team. Doud, McLeod, and Moreno are all repeat honorees from the 2023 season.

Doud, the RMAC Special Teams Player of the Year, leads NCAA Division II in punting at 46.6 yards per punt, and was a three-time RMAC Specialist of the Week this season. Mines leads the nation in net punting at 42.8 yards per attempt as opponents had only 13 returns off 41 punts in 2024. Doud put 19 of his 41 punts inside the 20, had 13 of 50+ yards, and a long of 80 yards. 

Schiele, a First-Team All-RMAC selection, led the RMAC and Super Region 4 with 1,195 receiving yards as he caught 12 touchdowns on 66 receptions. A nominee for the Harlon Hill Trophy, Schiele went over 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season as a redshirt junior and ranks in the national top-10 in both yards and touchdowns. 

Van de Graaf, a nominee for the Gene Upshaw Award and a First-Team All-RMAC selection, captained Mines' offensive line that had the RMAC's #1 total offense (482.7 yards per game) and #2 rushing offense (202.2 yards per game). Mines' all-time leader in o-line starts at 51, Van de Graaf is a four-time all-RMAC recipient in his career.

Healy led Mines in tackles (57), tackles for loss (14), and sacks (4.0) this season from his outside linebacker spot, adding four hurries, three break-ups, and a kick block. The co-captain finished his career with standout splash numbers of 36.5 TFL, 20 sacks, and eight total turnovers created while earning First-Team All-RMAC honors.

Moreno, a three-time first-team all-RMAC selection and now two-time D2CCA all-region pick, co-captained the defense with 53 total tackles, 2.5 for loss, and a sack to go with three break-ups and a hurry. Moreno led a run-stopping unit that held opponents under 100 yards rushing seven times in 11 games.

McLeod finished his career fourth on the NCAA D-II all-time receiving yards list, compiling 4,688 yards and 54 touchdowns. He is Mines' all-time record holder in yards and #2 in Mines and RMAC history in TDs, and in 2024 earned First-Team All-RMAC honors ranking in the NCAA D-II top-20 in receiving yards (9th, 1078), yards per game (10th, 98.0), receptions per game (8th, 6.5), and receiving TDs (18th, 10). His 72 catches led the RMAC.
