SAN DIEGO - Four Aztecs were selected as members of Phil Steele's 2009 mid-season all-Mountain West Conference team. Vincent Brown earned first-team honors, as well as being named to the mid-season All-America fourth-team. Punter Brian Stahovich was also a first-team honoree, while Jerry Milling and B.J. Williams were second-team choices.

Brown (Ranch Cucamonga, Calif.), SDSU's top offensive threat, entered 2009 as the Aztecs' returning leader in catches and receiving yards. Through six games, Brown has picked up where he left off as he currently leads the team with 45 receptions, 778 yards and six touchdowns. Brown, who has 13 career touchdowns, is one shy of entering the Aztec career top 10. Most recently, Brown caught eight passes for 147 yards against No. 18 Brigham Young.

Stahovich (Solana Beach, Calif.), a sophomore punter, ranks first in the MWC in punting average. This season, Stahovich has 10 kicks of more than 50 yards, including a pair of season-long 57-yard boots at Air Force. Stahovich finished his day at the Academy with a punting average of 52.5 yards, which ranks fourth all-time in Aztec single-game history.

Milling, a senior linebacker from Palmdale, Calif., became the first SDSU player to log 10-plus tackles in a game this season when he had 12 against Air Force. Milling, who has four career games with 10 or more stops, recently set a career high with his 13 vs. nationally ranked BYU. At the half-way mark of the campaign, Milling has team-best figures in tackles (46) and tackles for loss (5.5).

Williams (Aurora, Colo.), a junior defensive end who was coming off an impressive 2008 season, has started all six games in 2009. This year, Williams has 21 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss, including two sacks. He also recorded his third career fumble recovery against UCLA in the season opener.

The Aztecs' next game is Saturday, Oct. 24, when they travel to Colorado State. Kick-off is set for 2 p.m. MT.
