South Carolina State defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, Alabama State linebacker Kourtney Berry and Norfolk State linebacker Deon King were named to the first-team defense. Southern kick returner Willie Quinn landed on the first-team offense.

North Carolina A&T landed two players on the team. Punt returner Khris Gardin was named to the second-team defense and kick returner Tony McCrae landed on the third-team offense.

Hargrave, the two-time MEAC defensive player of the year, finished the season with 59 total tackles (43 solo), 13 sacks and 20 tackles. Hargrave led the conference is sacks while finishing second in tackles for loss. Those numbers placed him fifth in FCS.
