Four members of the 2007 Texas A&M University-Commerce football team - offensive lineman Darron Sheppard (Longview, Texas), all-purpose player Nabil El-Amin (Rochester, N.Y.), linebacker Garnet Smith (Arlington, Texas) and cornerback Elliot Jones (Pasadena, Calif.) - were named to the 2007 Don Hansen's Football Gazette All-Southwest Region Third Team on Friday.

The four selections by the Lions are the most of any teams in the Lone Star Conference North Division and 33 of the 93 selections were represented by the Lone Star Conference.

All four were named Lone Star Conference North Division First Team in 2007 as well as El-Amin, Sheppard and Jones will return from the 2007 squad that won the program's first-ever Lone Star Conference North Division title.

This marks the sixth year Football Gazette has selected NCAA Division II All-Region teams. The national publication, an authority on small college football, has selected NCAA Division II All-America teams since 1998.
