KANSAS – The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) announced their selections for the 2025 KCAC Football All-Conference awards this week. Tabor College took saw six selections for the all-conference honors.
A.J. King earned First Team All-KCAC nods both on the offensive side and for his work on special teams as the Bluejays' punt returner. In addition to those selections, King also received Second Team All-KCAC honors as an all-purpose athlete. He recorded 890 receiving yards on 68 receptions, averaging 13.09 yards-per-catch, scoring 15 touchdowns and averaging 80.91 yards-per-game. On the special teams side of things, King recorded 347 punt return yards on 13 returns, averaging 26.69 yards-per-return, finding the endzone twice with a longest return of 92 yards. He also recorded 602 return yards on 27 total kickoffs, averaging 22.30 yards-per-return with a longest return of 39 yards.
Brodrick Smith capped off an excellent season, being named a First Team All-KCAC selection for his work as Tabor's punter. He recorded a total of 2455 punt yards on 61 punts, averaging 40.25 yards-per-punt, with a longest punt of 65 yards and eight 50+ yard punts. Arguably one of Smith's most impressive stats is that 28 of his 61 attempts landed inside the opponent's 20-yard line, a feat that has gone down as a program record.
Dusty Daigle earned a spot on the Second Team All-KCAC Defense squad as a linebacker. Daigle recorded 82 total tackles (65 solo, 17 assisted) over the course of 11 games with 11.5 tackles-for-loss (TFLs) for a total of 36 yards, and two sacks for a total of 15 yards. He also forced three fumbles and recorded one fumble recovery on the season.
Cam Pair finished his career in Hillsboro with a Third Team All-KCAC nod on defense. Pair recorded 55 total tackles (43 solo, 12 assisted) over the course of 11 games, with two interceptions and one forced fumble.
