Lacey Named To D3football All-American Fourth Team

MOORHEAD, Minn. (12/30/25)---Concordia senior Noah Lacey (Sparks, Nev./Spanish Springs HS) was named to the D3football.com All-American Fourth Team.

Lacey becomes the second Cobber player to earn D3football.com All-American honors in the past three season and is the 32nd Concordia player to earn an All-American award in the program's history. He follows Collin Thompson, who earned fourth team honors in 2023.

The All-American award follows Lacey being named to the D3football.com All-Region 6 Second Team in the snapper/long snapper category.   

This year was the 27th anniversary of D3football.com naming an All-American Team. The first D3football.com All-America team was awarded in 1999 and is, along with the AFCA All-America team, the only ones recognized in the NCAA record book. Players are nominated by schools in November and December for the D3football.com All-Region team and are then considered for All-American.     

Lacey finished his career as a four-year starter as the team's snapper for punts, field goals and extra point attempts. His stellar ability to successfully get the ball to Concordia's punters and holders had head coach Terry Horan call Lacey, "the best snapper I have had in my 25 years of coaching."
