After a spectacular season for the Knight's, Justin Coats, was honored as an NAIA 2nd Team All-American at second base. Coat's impressive offensive numbers where outdone only by his defensive performance as he made just 4 errors all season.
Also receiving recognition was Knight's outfielder Jeff Sakowski who was named to the Honorable mention All American list.
Coats becomes the third Knight to be honored with a Second Team recognition. In 1990 Brett Petite was a 2nd Teamer behind the plate and in 2000 Russell Lewis was also a 2nd Teamer at second base. Petite signed with the Cubs and Lewis signed with the Red 
Sox following their standout years.
