December 12, 2024 | Football
MUNCIE, Ind. – Junior tight end Tanner Koziol has been earned a pair of All-America honors as named by digital media outlets HERO Sports and College Football Network. Koziol was named a first team Group of Five All-American by HERO Sports, announced today among three All-America teams honoring student-athletes from Group of Five mid-major conferences. Earlier this week, he was honored as a third-team All-American by College Football Network.
Koziol was Ball State's most highly touted star in 2024. He ranked fourth in the country with 7.8 receptions per game.
A second-team all-league pick in the Mid-American Conference behind first-teamer Harold Fannin of Bowling Green, Koziol shares the two-tight end Group of Five first team with Fannin who was also acknowledged by HERO Sports as the team's offensive player of the year.
On All-America teams named this week by CFN, Koziol was a third-teamer behind Fannin and Penn State's Tyler Warren.
Koziol, a national semifinalist for the Mackey Award honoring the country's best tight end, broke Ball State's single-season and career receptions records by a tight end last season. He finished the year with 94 catches for 839 yards. His 94 catches are fourth in Cardinals history by any receiver. Through three seasons, his 163 career receptions are ninth in Ball State history.
