Wide receiver Joey Owens highlighted that group with a First Team All-NACC selection. Defensive back Garrick McGregor's Second Team All-NACC selection was the highest award for any Regent defender. LaVar Johnson Jr., Jaelen Ray and Amari Jackson rounded out Rockford's award recipients with their NACC Honorable Mention selections.

Senior defensive back Garrick McGregor was selected Second Team All-NACC for the first time in his career. McGregor burst onto the scene for the Regent defense with an excellent all-around season.
