UTICA, NY - The Pioneers have not one, but TWO Associated Press All-Americans on this year's illustrious list. 

The AP released its All-American teams today, on which Logan Frederick (Little Falls, NY/Little Falls) and Eli Douglas (Ausable Forks, NY/Ausable Valley) were named to the second team and third team, respectively. This is the first All-American honor for each player.

Frederick's numbers told the story of a top tight end in Division III, all season long. On Thursday, that thought was cemented as the Pioneer tight end was named to the AP Division III All-America Second Team. He was named an All-Empire 8 First Team selection and also received All-Region II First Team honors. He ranked second in the Empire 8 for receptions (74) and first for receiving touchdowns (12) during his senior season, despite being ranked among the conference's top receivers. Frederick's numbers were so immaculate for a player from his position that he managed to be named to the D3football.com Team of the Week three separate times during the season, cementing his status as a top-tier tight end in all of Division III Football. His ability to accrue yards after the catch saw him become one of the best players in the Empire 8 after the catch, deftly evading defenders and using his large stature to gain extra yards on nearly every reception. Frederick also got it done in the classroom, being named the Empire 8's top scholar athlete among the top teams in the league. Frederick posted the highest cumulative GPA of the top schools in the Empire 8, earning him the prestigious honor. All of these honors are the first in his career.

Douglas turned in another impressive campaign from his position in the Pioneer secondary, being named to the AP All-America Third Team. He gained conference recognition for the second straight season as he jumped to the first team for the first time in his career. The Pioneers' senior leader put up insane numbers for a safety during the regular season, ranking second on the team in tackles with 62, while also leading the team in interceptions and pass breakups with six each. He ranked third in the conference for passes defended with 12, while also leading the league with his six interceptions. His 78-yard pick-six during the regular season finale was the longest such play by any Empire 8 team this season. Douglas currently has career marks of 196 tackles, 33 passes defended, and 14 interceptions, which place him third on the program's career interception chart. Douglas' pick-six against Brockport extended his program-best career pick-six mark, as the senior now has four interception return touchdowns. Douglas was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week and selected as the Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week once each during 2025, and adds the AP All-American honor and First Team All-Empire 8 honor to last year's second team All-Empire 8 honor and first team All-ECAC honor.
