Bettcher, Behm and Florence Honored on D2CCA All-Super Region 4 Team

| By:
MOORHEAD, Minn. -- MSU Moorhead senior cornerback Jake Bettcher, junior linebacker Josiah Behm and redshirt sophomore wide receiver Gage Florence have been named to the D2CCA All-Super Region 4 team. 

Bettcher and Behm were honored as part of the Second Team Defense while Florence made Second Team Offense. Colorado School of Mines quarterback John Matocha was named the region's Offensive Player of the Year while Central Washington safety Tanner Volk was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Year. 

Bettcher only continued to cement himself as an elite ball-hawking defensive back in 2023. The Detroit Lakes, Minn., native registered 61 tackles in 2023 with 42 being solo takedowns. Bettcher was also tied for an NSIC-best five interceptions in 2023, including one in his final contest against Mary on November 11. He also led the NSIC with 14 total passes defended as he made nine pass breakups throughout the season. Bettcher was an All-NSIC Second Team performer in 2023.

Behm led the NSIC in tackles in 2023, totaling 94 tackles including 53 solo stops. The junior also registered 3.5 sacks and 7.5 tackles for loss totaling 45 lost yards this season. He forced one fumble and also had a pair of pass deflections during the year. Behm also tied the single-game school record for an interception return as he took a pick 98 yards for a touchdown against Sioux Falls on October 14. The Appleton, Wis., native had five games where he registered 10 or more tackles, including a season-best 14 against Minnesota State on October 7. Behm was an All-NSIC First Team performer in 2023. 

Florence earns the honors after another record-breaking season which saw him reel in 108 passes to reset his own single-season school record. His reception total led the country in 2023 as Florence hauled in nearly 10 catches per contest for MSUM. Oddly enough, Florence tallied the exact same receiving yard total as 2022 (996), but was able to reel in nine touchdowns on the season. The redshirt sophomore had a season-best 17 receptions against Wayne State on August 31. He was named an All-NSIC First Team honoree for his performance.
