Scott, a native of Richmond, Virginia, makes his first All-MEC Team as a first-team selection. One of the leaders of the Concord defense, Scott finished the year with 95 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. He added 13 pass break-ups and one interception. Among the league leaders, Scott was fifth in total tackles, tied for first in PBUs and second in TFLs. With Scott on the defense, Concord was second in the MEC in total defense (371.8 yards per game), and the CU secondary surrendered the second-fewest passing yards in the conference (197.6). Scott was named the MEC Defensive Player of the Week after eight tackles with 4.5 going for loss in a win over West Virginia Wesleyan (Oct. 25). A week later he had a pick six at Wheeling (Nov. 1). Scott started the season with 10 tackles and five pass break-ups at UVa.-Wise (Aug. 30).
Concepcion, a native of Rochester, New York, finished as one of the top receivers in the MEC. He hauled in 46 receptions which ranked third in the conference for 566 yards which was put him tenth in the MEC. Concepcion recorded his first career 100-yard game with 112 yards in a win over West Liberty (Sept. 27). He finished the Glenville State game with 76 yards through the air on seven catches. Concepcion had multiple receptions in all 10 games he played during the 2025 season, including four games with five or more catches.
After switching from defensive line to linebacker prior to the season starting, Ellison made his presence known by finishing as Concord's second-leading tackle behind Scott. The Queens, New York native rolled up 79 stops, tenth in the MEC, while adding eight tackles for loss which was also top 10 in the league. Ellison recorded a career-best 13 tackles at eventual MEC Champion Frostburg State (Oct. 4). He added 11 tackles in the final home game of the season versus Fairmont State (Nov. 8). At Bluefield State, three of the seven tackles for Ellison were tackles for loss.
Jeudy is Concord's lone All-MEC player on what was one of the best offensive lines in the conference in 2025. The Mountain Lions surrendered just seven sacks on the year which was six fewer than second place in the MEC. And Jeudy and his teammates ranked in a tie for fourth in Division II in sacks allowed. From his right tackle spot—where he started all 11 games—Jeudy helped pave the way for the MEC's second-best passing attack as CU averaged 262.6 yards per game through the air. The Miami, Florida native was the only Concord offensive lineman to start all 11 games at the same spot this fall.
Mizzell was the second-leading passer in the MEC. He threw for 2,889 yards and 26 touchdowns. Throw in the 377 rushing yards that Mizzell accounted for, and the Denver, North Carolina native finished second in the league in total offense per game (296.9). Mizzell's 2,889 yards rank fourth for a single season at Concord while his 26 passing touchdowns are fifth. He started the season red hot as he passed for 1,444 yards in the first four games of the year. Mizzell had seven games with at least three touchdowns, including four-touchdown games at Bluefield State (Sept. 6) and Ferrum (Nov. 15).
As Concepcion's running mate on the outside, Moore was one of the most explosive wide receivers in the MEC. The Spartanburg, South Carolina native finished year as CU's leading receiver with 37 receptions for 649 yards and eight touchdowns. Moore's 17.5 yards per catch ranked sixth in the MEC while his yardage total was good enough for third, and his eight touchdowns were tied for first in the conference. He started the year with a touchdown in four straight games. He just missed a 100-yard game at Glenville State (Oct. 18) with 99 yards, but scored twice. To cap the year, Moore recorded his first career 100-yard day with 106 yards and two touchdowns in a win at Ferrum.
Rennels, a native of Boiling Springs, South Carolina, collected 34 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and two sacks despite playing just 9.5 games this fall. Against West Virginia Wesleyan, Rennels became the CU first player since 2022 with a two-sack game. He threw in 1.5 TFLs in the win over West Liberty. Rennels also tallied a career-high five tackles before leaving the Fairmont State game with injury. The run stopper in the middle of the CU defense was in on at lest one TFLs in seven of 10 games played in 2025.
Moyer, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, steadily improved as the season went on. Moyer averaged 38.6 yards per punt with 24 of his 44 punts landing inside the 20-yard line. He had seven punts that traveled at least 50 yards, including a career-long 61-yard boot at Wheeling. Moyer's best single-game average of the year came against West Virginia Wesleyan when he was asked to punt five times for an average of 46.8 yards.
Along with Scott, Radcliff helped the CU secondary be one of the most revered in the MEC. Radcliff, a Miami native, finished tied for the league lead in interceptions (five), even though he did not play in the final three games of the year. The Tusculum transfer started his time in the Maroon and Gray with an interception in five of the first six games of the year. He added 38 tackles and five pass break-ups. His interception at UVa.-Wise went back for a score, aiding in a 37-29 win over the Cavaliers to open the season. Only 13 players in Division II had five or more interceptions during the 2025 season.
The nine all-conference selections for the Mountain Lions are the most since the 2022 season when CU had 10 All-MEC selections.
The All-MEC Football Teams are voted on by the nine head coaches in the conference.
West Liberty running back Hunter Patterson was named the MEC Offensive Player of the Year. Charleston linebacker Aden Miller was the MEC Defensive Player of the Year. The MEC Freshmen of the Year were West Virginia State's Devin Cox (Offensive) and Wheeling's Dylan Newman (Defensive).
In helping lead Frostburg State to its first MEC Championship, FSU head coach Eric Wagoner was voted as the MEC Coach of the Year by his peers.
