The D3football.com All-Region team started in 2005 and honors three teams of top players in each of the regions in Division III football.
The 2024 D3football.com All-Region teams were announced Wednesday, Dec. 11.
Nominating begins shortly after the regular season ends, and involves the Sports Information Director at each institution, using the stats they already upload to D3football.com through PrestoSports. SIDs are contacted by email and the list is sent to conference offices for vetting before our panel of SIDs and D3football.com staff in each region votes.
Players who are first- or second-team all-conference or independents at full Division III members are eligible for nomination.
In 2024, 1,210 players were nominated.
All players nominated for All-Region teams are eligible for selection to the D3football.com All-America team in January. However, the All-America team is made up primarily of players named to the All-Region first or second teams.
