MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Dec. 9) – Senior defensive tackle Darryl Moore, Jr. led a trio of Yellow Jacket standouts, who were named to the D3Football.com All South Region Team.
 
Moore was selected as a first-team honoree following another outstanding season as the centerpiece of Waynesburg's defensive front. The Boardman, Ohio native racked up 60 total tackles, 36 of which were solo stops, nine tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. He also broke up a pass, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble on his way to his second-straight All South Region lauding from the website. Moore also notched his second-straight first-team All-Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) selection in November.
 
Joining Moore on this year's squad were senior center Nick Hanley and senior cornerback Sean Hunt, who both picked up third-team nods. This is Hunt's second-straight listing on the website's All South Region Team after picking up third-team laurels last year. After overcoming some early season injuries, the Coraopolis, Pa. native snagged a team-high five interceptions, which tied him for second in the PAC. That handful of picks brought his career total to 16, which tied the school's career interception record.
 
Hanley landed on the all-region team for the first time after being a two-time, first-team All-PAC pick. The Canonsburg native anchored a rebuilt Jacket offensive line that, despite featuring four new starters, allowed just five quarterback sacks all year. That total was not only the lowest in the PAC, but also the sixth lowest in all of Division III.
 
Waynesburg, which finished the year 5-5 after playing in the ECAC South Atlantic Bowl, was the only team in the PAC to feature a first-team selection, and the Jackets' three picks led the conference. All players nominated for All-Region are eligible to be considered for the D3football.com All-America Team. To view this year's All South Region team, click here.
