TAMPA, Fla. – The Sun Conference announces its All-Conference selections and the six positional award winners for the 2024 football season as voted on by the league's eight head coaches. Florida Memorial University landed three student-athletes on first-team All-SUN, while four more student-athletes landed on the second-team. In addition, senior defensive back Marcell Blocker was named 2024 SUN Conference Defensive Back of the Year for his stellar play throughout the season.

St. Thomas's Rontavious Farmer has been named the Sun Conference Back of the Year after leading the No. 5 nationally ranked Bobcats in rushing yards this season. Farmer not only leads the conference but also ranks first nationally in rushing yards per game, averaging 144.0. A team captain, he has played a pivotal role in guiding the Bobcats to a 9-1 overall record and a 6-1 mark in league play.

David Hayes, also representing STU, has earned the title of Receiver of the Year. Hayes leads the conference with 14 touchdowns this season, placing him fourth nationally. He has surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark, totaling 1,042 yards so far, with an average of 104.2 yards per game—seventh-best in the nation.

Keiser's Jude Guerrier has been named Offensive Lineman of the Year for his stellar contributions to the Seahawks' offense during his junior campaign. As the anchor of a Keiser unit that averages 38.2 points per game, Guerrier has also allowed zero sacks. A team captain, he has helped lead the Seahawks to an undefeated 9-0 record in 2024 and their third consecutive Sun Conference Championship.

The Bobcats' Nicholas Engler has claimed the Defensive Lineman of the Year award. A key component of the St. Thomas defense, Engler earns this honor for the second consecutive year. Playing both defensive tackle and defensive end, he has recorded seven sacks (27th nationally), 23 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and one interception this season.

STU's Kendall Wilson II is this year's Linebacker of the Year. Wilson II leads the Sun Conference in tackles, with 62 in league play and 81 overall. He has also contributed 13 tackles for loss and two interceptions, which he returned for a combined 89 yards and two touchdowns.

Florida Memorial's Marcell Blocker has been named Defensive Back of the Year. Tasked with covering the league's top wide receivers, Blocker has made 13 tackles, three interceptions, and six pass breakups in conference play. Overall, he has totaled 22 tackles and added a 22-yard tackle for loss.
