The 150 players who make up the first and second teams from 15 geographical divisions across the country are now eligible for the State Farm Division 1 All-America teams that will be announced on Saturday, April 5, at the NABC Convention in San Antonio, Texas, the release said.

Giddens was joined on the first team in District 13 by Trent Plaisted and Lee Cummard of BYU, Marcelus Kemp of the University of Nevada and Reggie Larry of Boise State, according to the release.

District 13's second team includes Lorrenzo Wade of San Diego State, Stefon Jackson of UTEP, Kevin Bell of Fresno State, Brandon Ewing of Wyoming and Luke Nevill of Utah.

Some other familiar faces show up on the District 15 second team: UNLV's Wink Adams and New Mexico State University's Justin Hawkins.
