He is a four-year starter and a two-time all-MVFC honoree along with a returning all-American and academic all-American. Godfrey adds another preseason honor to his name after a recent selection to the STATS Perform FCS Preseason All-America team. He takes over a linebacker group that saw two sign with NFL teams this spring in DeJaun Cooper and Jack Cochrane. Hailing from Farmington, Minnesota, Mogensen ranked eighth in the Valley in tackles per game and had a season-high 11 tackles in last year's playoff game against Southern Illinois. He was the team's second-leading tackler with 86 tackles including 38 solo stops.

Mogensen is a returning junior who started all 12 games for South Dakota last season. He is a returning all-MVFC selection from last season and was recently selected to the STATS Perform FCS Preseason All-America team. Jensen earned the MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week honor after the Coyotes racked up 353 rushing yards in a win at Cal Poly last season. The Plymouth, Minnesota, native helped a Coyote offense that averaged 170 rushing yards and 27 points a game last season. He has started in 28 straight games at the left tackle position. Jensen has been a staple in the offensive line for the Coyotes since the 2019 season. Bell also made second team as a receiver with Nick Gaes receiving second-team honors as well to round out the list for USD. The list was highlighted by four first team selections for South Dakota in Alex Jensen, Brock Mogensen, Dalton Godfrey, and Carter Bell who made the first team as an all-purpose back.
