Two Morningside Mustangs, including wide receiver Reid Jurgensmeier, are part of the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s NAIA Preseason Starting Lineup, the book’s version of a preseason All-America team.
Just as importantly, the Mustangs are No. 2 in the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s NAIA Preseason Top 30. The Mustangs are the second highest-ranked Great Plains Athletic Conference program in the CFA preseason Top 30.
Jurgensmeier, a senior, was an NAIA First-Team All-American for the 2020 season. His teammate, Caleb Schweigart, is also part of the Starting Lineup as a punt returner.
Morningside went 10-1 overall last year and 8-0 in GPAC action. The Vikings made the NAIA playoffs, defeating Carroll (MT), 55-0, in the first round. In the quarterfinals, the Mustangs defeated Baker, 45-29. Then, in the semifinals, the Mustangs fell to Northwestern (IA), 44-41. The Mustangs saw their shot at a three-peat come to an end. Morningside had won the 2018 and 2019 crowns.
The Vikings open the season at home against Concordia (NE) on Sept. 4.
