KANSAS CITY, Mo. — D2Football.com revealed its Elite 100 Team Monday afternoon, announcing
Everette Dingle as a member of the Second Team as a defensive back.
The Elite 100 is D2Football.com's version of an All-America team. Players are selected by staff members of D2Football.com with input from sitting head coaches as well as professional football scouting veteran Josh Buchanan. The team includes First and Second Team selections for offense, defense, and special teams along with 25 "Squad" players for offense and defense. Squad players are equivalent to "Honorable Mention" selections in similar national recognition lists.
Dingle has raked in the accolades over the last two seasons. After a 2024 campaign where he was named to the All-PSAC East Defensive First Team and D2CCA All-Super Region 1 First Team, he followed that up with a 2025 season that ended with the same conference honors and a spot on the D2CCA All-Super Region 1 Second Team. Dingle finished the season fourth on ESU with 55 total tackles, second on the team with two interceptions with one returned for a touchdown, second with four PBUs, and forced and recovered a fumble. The safety also garnered PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Week honors for his performance in ESU's Week 3 win at Gannon in which he recorded eight total tackles and an interception.
Dingle joins a list of 10 other Warriors to be named to a D2Football.com Elite 100 Team, becoming the third defensive player and first defensive back to earn the recognition. Most recently, K Devin Bartholomew and DE Deshawn McCarthy were named to the Second Team in 2022. DB Matt Crispell was named an Honorable Mention in 2004.
The PSAC had four athletes total named to the First and Second Teams, with ESU, Kutztown, and Slippery Rock representing the conference nationally.
