WACO, Texas – Senior running back Dylan Laube (Westhampton, N.Y.) of the University of New Hampshire football team was named to the 2023 FCS Athletic Directors Association All-America Team on Thursday.
The 11th annual award recognizes the top student-athletes from FCS institutions across 11 different positions. Voting was conducted by a national panel consisting of media and sports information directors.
From the 11 ADA All-America Team honorees, an Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year will be announced Jan. 3, 2024, in advance of the FCS national championship game. Those two recipients will be recognized during an on-field presentation at that national title game in Frisco, Texas.
Laube was selected as an return specialist. This is the sixth 2023 postseason All-America Team accolade for Laube, who has now received a total of 16 career All-America Team honors.
Laube compiled 2,095 all-purpose yards and a total of 18 touchdowns in 10 games – he did not play in the regular-season finale. He ran the ball 160 times for 749 yards and nine TDs, caught 68 passes for 699 yards and seven TDs, had 15 kickoff returns for 467 yards and a TD, and 16 punt returns for 180 yards and one score.
With those stats, the captain led UNH in rushes, rushing yards, rushing TDs, receptions, receiving yards, TD receptions, kickoff return yards and KO return average, and punt return yards.
Laube is the national leader in all-purpose yards for the second consecutive year with an average of 209.5 yards per game. He is also #2 in both total touchdowns (18) and scoring (10.8 points/game); #3 in kickoff returns (31.1 yards/return); #8 in both combined kick returns (647 yards) and receptions per game (6.8); and #16 in punt returns (CAA-best 11.2 yards/return).
Laube led UNH in rushing yards 9 of 10 games played, in receptions seven times and receiving yards four times. Laube topped 100 rushing yards twice (180 vs. Dartmouth; 132 vs. Villanova) and 100 receiving yards twice, as well as 200 all-purpose yards six times.
Laube scored at least one touchdown every game with a total of 18 TDs. He had a rushing TD in 7 of 10 games and a receiving touchdown in six games.
Laube was named CAA Special Teams Player of the Week twice (Sept. 4 & 25) and received a total of five awards Sept. 11 following his record-setting performance. Laube finished with a school-record 295 receiving yards Sept. 9 at Central Michigan. His 12 catches included 80- and 71-yard touchdowns. He amassed a season-high, but not career-high, 371 all-purpose yards in that game.
He topped 300 all-purpose yards against Villanova; he finished with 19 carries for 132 yards and two touchdowns, 10 catches for 75 yards and three kickoff returns for 103 yards.
Laube carried the ball a career-high 33 times for 180 yards in the win against Dartmouth. He matched his own UNH record (shared with three others) for longest kickoff return with a 100-yard touchdown at Delaware.
In the season opener at Stonehill, Laube had a 58-yard punt return TD, 23-yard receiving TD and 11-yard rushing TD -- all in the first quarter. Laube recorded a career-high 13 receptions for 128 yards and a TD at Rhode Island.
New Hampshire concluded the 2023 season with a 44-25 victory against the University of Maine to win the Border Battle and retain the Brice-Cowell Musket.
