Gossett, Neal, Holleran repeat as NAIA-AFCA All-Americans
After a 9-3 season and a trip to the NAIA Football Championship Series Quarterfinals, Georgetown Football has received its first individual postseason honors. Blake Gossett, Darius Neal, and Chad Holleran are all NAIA-AFCA All-Americans for the 2nd straight year, as announced by the American Football Coaches Association on Wednesday. It marks the sixth consecutive year that Georgetown has at least one player as an All-American.
Blake Gossett was named a 1st-Team All-American for 2024. Surrounded by 4 new full-time starters, Gossett anchored an offensive line that made the Tigers a force all season long en route to a second straight Mid-South Conference Championship. His efforts allowed Darius Neal to continue to climb the record books in Georgetown Football history.
Neal was named a 2nd-Team All-American for 2024. The Craig Mullins MSC Offensive Player of the Year ran for 1386 yards and 11 TDs this season. The yardage total was 2nd most in school history in a single-season (Mitch Winburn, 1,456 yards in 1988). Neal averaged 115.5 yards per game, sixth-best in school history and had seven games over 100 yards.
Chad Holleran is back as a 3rd-Team All-American. The MSC Defensive Player of the Year finished with 112 tackles. 6.5 TFL, and a pick-six. He tallied 33 total tackles in Georgetown's 2 playoff games and led a defense that allowed just 19.3 PPG on the year and only 11.5 PPG against Mid-South Conference opponents en route to the MSC title.
