College Fanz Sports Network has announced the 2009 NAIA Football All-American team, as voted on by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) football coaches and the College Fanz Football Game of the Week broadcast team.

This is the ninth annual edition of the NAIA Football All-American team, which began in 2002 with Jason Dannelly and the Victory Sports Network (now part of College Fanz). College Fanz is the world's largest online college sports community launched by ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen.

Grand View senior defensive back Titus Bland (Baytown, Texas) was selected to the College Fanz NAIA All-America Football Team. Bland led Grand View to an 8-3 overall record in 2009. The Vikings went 6-1 for second place in the Mid-States Football Association's Midwest League. Bland was also named to the American Football Coaches' Association (AFCA) All-American Team in December.

Bland was among NAIA leaders in seven categories: Total Interceptions (4th-6), Passes Defended Per Game (5th-1.50), Kick Off Return Yards Per Attempt (8th-27), Interceptions Per Game (9th-.50), Total Punt Return Yards (23rd-208), Total Kick Off Return Yards (29th-513), and forced Fumbles Per Game (50th-.20).
