2022 D2CCA All-Super Region 1 Teams
For the fourth consecutive time, the Hillsdale College football team is represented at the regional level when it comes to postseason awards.
Sophomore wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was named to the All-Super Region 1 second team this afternoon by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association, which hands out regional and national awards to NCAA DII football players on an annual basis.
TeSlaa was one of four receivers in Super Region 1 honored by the D2CCA, and adds the honor to his recognition as the Offensive Player of the Year in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, as well as first-team All-G-MAC honors.
The sophomore led both the Chargers and the G-MAC in virtually all statistical receiving categories in 2022, including receptions (68), yards (1,325), touchdowns (13), yards per catch (19.5) and yards per game (120.5), while also ranking on the short list of leaders across the nation at the DII level, finishing third in the regular season in receiving yards per game, tied for sixth in receiving touchdowns, and in the top 25 in receiving yards per catch.
TeSlaa's season also ranks highly in program history -- his 1,325 recieiving yards in 2022 are the third-most in a single season all-time, as are his 13 touchdowns, and his 68 receptions rank ninth in a season among Charger receivers.
Hillsdale had two players -- safeties Alex Anschutz and Zach Herzog -- receive second-team All-Super Region 1 honors from the D2CCA in 2021, and offensive lineman Mark Konkle was a first-team honoree in 2019. Hillsdale started its recent streak of All-Region honorees in 2018, with six players earning recognition, including quarterback Chance Stewart, wide receiver Trey Brock and offensive lineman Drew Callahan receiving first-team All-Region honors. All-Region awards were not handed out in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
