KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A pair of Vikings football student-athletes added to their honors on Friday, as D2Football.com named both Kirby Hora and Sam Lee to its All-American teams, both honorable mentions.
 
Previously named an AFCA Second Team All-American, Lee started all 11 games as a senior in 2017 on the offensive line, anchoring a Vikings offense that posted 1,674 rushing yards and 2,069 yards through the air.
 
That came on the heals of a 2016 team, led by the Blue Earth, Minnesota native, that set Augustana single-season records with 5,617 yards of total offense, 3,786 passing yards and 65 touchdowns.
 
A CCA All-Super Region 4 selection earlier in the season, Hora led the Northern Sun Conference with 129 total tackles and an 11.7 tackles per game average from his linebacker spot. The junior from Sioux Falls posted double-digit tackles in seven of the Vikings 11 games, including a 21-tackle effort against MSU Moorhead in the season opener on Sept. 2, which ties the school's single game record.
