Additionally, three players earned All-ODAC honors for the third time in their career while another trio made it back-to-back years on the all-league teams.
Leading the way on the offensive side of the ball was senior lineman Tyler Weterrings (Glade Hill, Va.), who became a three-time All-ODAC performer and two-time first-teamer. He captained the Wasps to 39.1 points and 172 rushing yards per game.
Senior wide receiver Derrick Yates (Abingdon, Va.) made it a third All-ODAC selection with his first nod to the first team. He caught a league-high 64 passes for 1,051 yards and 15 touchdowns, setting E&H records all along the way.
Defensively, senior defensive lineman Da'von Keith (Columbia, S.C.) earned his third all-league accolades and second first-team nod after making 39 tackles including league-leading marks of 16.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Senior defensive lineman Josh Fleenor (Christiansburg, Va.) had the second-most stops on the team at 53 and finished with 7.5 tackles for loss.
Sophomore linebacker Ivan Phillips (Kingsport, Tenn.) led the squad with 80 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles, posting four games with 10 or more stops.
On the second team, junior quarterback Hunter Taylor (Summerville, S.C.) earned his second nod to the all-league group after throwing for 2,140 yards and 26 touchdowns. He completed 54.3 percent of his passes and boasted a quarterback rating of 144.8.
Freshman running back T.J. Tester (Moneta, Va.) also earned second-team accolades rushing for a team-best 732 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. He was helped to that mark by senior offensive lineman Daniel Bailey (Abingdon, Va.), who quickly made a name for himself in the ODAC after transferring from Virginia Tech for his final season.
On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore Donovan Pinnix (Eden, N.C.) gave the Wasps three all-league performers on the line after making 40 tackles with 10 tackles for loss and six sacks. Sophomore defensive back Jaylyn Kreimes (Sharps, Va.) anchored the defensive backfield, making 37 tackles, picking off two passes and breaking up a league-best 13 passes.
Freshman linebacker Grayson Overstreet (Moneta, Va.) also earned second-team honors in his first full collegiate season with 49 tackles, three tackles for loss, and an interception which he returned 80 yards for a touchdown. Overstreet was a two-way player, finishing with 437 rushing yards and six touchdowns, as he set the E&H record for rushing yards in a game.
On the third team, junior Dakota Morris (Mount Sidney, Va.) was recognized a second time for his effectiveness at the center position, giving E&H three offensive linemen on the All-ODAC Teams.
Senior placekicker Matt Seals (Rogersville, Va.) capped his record-breaking career with a spot on the third team as he converted all 52 of his PATs this year for an ODAC career-record of 166 and made seven field goals.
Sophomore defensive back Dalton Wilson (Clinton, Tenn.) finished the year with 39 tackles, three tackles for a loss and five passes broken up.
Emory & Henry finished with a 7-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in ODAC play this year which was good for third place. The Wasps will now await the release of the several all-state, all-region and All-America teams which coincide with the completion of the college football season.
