Football College Football America Yearbook<\/em>, a publication available through Amazon.com<\/a> and BarnesandNoble.com<\/a>, tabbed Fort Hays State at No. 14 in its Division II Preseason Top 30 for 2019. Also receiving special recognition from the publication is senior kicker Dante Brown<\/a>, listed on the Division II Preseason Starting Lineup by the publication. College Football America Yearbook<\/em> has been produced every year since 2011.

Fort Hays State and Northwest Missouri State, co-champions of the MIAA last year, both grace the preseason top 30. Northwest Missouri State received a ranking of No. 7. FHSU and NWMSU are the only schools listed in the top 30 from the MIAA.

Dante Brown<\/a>, placekicker for Fort Hays State, and O’Shay Harris, defensive back from Central Oklahoma, are the only two players from the MIAA listed among the Division II Preseason Starting Lineup. Eleven players on both offense and defense were chosen, while Brown is among the five specialists named to the list. Brown led all NCAA divisions in field goals per game in 2018, averaging 2.33 per contest with 28 for the season. It set a new school and MIAA record for field goals in a season, while coming just two shy of the NCAA Division II single-season record. Brown recorded 123 points for the year, adding 39 successful PATs to his 28 field goals to rank 12th<\/sup> in Division II for points per game (10.3).
