Sleva named First Team All-Region

12/10/2025 12:01:00 PM

MINNEAPOLIS--Senior Dylan Sleva (McDonald, Pa., Moon) was named a D3football.com All-Region 2 First Team selection Wednesday morning.

Region 2 includes the Centennial Conference, Empire 8, Landmark Conference, Liberty League, New Jersey Athletic Conference and Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC). 

This is the 21st season D3football.com has named all-region teams. The All-America teams will be announced on Dec. 22. 

Sleva captured PAC Defensive Player of the Year honors on Nov. 22. A First Team All-PAC choice, he is the program's fourth defensive player of the year selection since 2017. It was his third-straight year earning All-PAC, claiming Second Team All-PAC in 2023 and 2024. Sleva registered a career-high 25 tackles (9 solo), the second-most by a Division III player in 2025, in a 12-8 season-opening loss to Marietta (Sept. 4) and was named PAC Defensive Player of the Week after posting 13 tackles (5 solo) and an interception in a 27-7 win at Franklin & Marshall (Sept. 13). Sleva earned a spot on the D3football.com Team of the Week after registering 15 tackles (10 solo) and a sack, his fifth-straight game with a dozen or more stops, in a 28-23 victory at Case Western Reserve (Sept. 20).

A semifinalist for the 2025 William V. Campbell Trophy®, Sleva's 347 career tackles are No.5 among active Division III players and rank 20th among all NCAA defenders. His 110 total tackles (52 solo) rank 18th in Division III. He added 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 2025. 

He was named the PAC's recipient of the CKA SAVE Project Balanced Student-Athlete Award, presented to one player from each of the four participating teams in this year's Opendorse Bowl Series, recognizing individuals who demonstrate exceptional commitment and success in both academics and athletics. Sleva finished with 12 tackles (9 solo), a sack and a forced fumble in Westminster's 40-21 victory over Mount St. Joseph in the 2nd Annual Extra Points Bowl Nov. 22 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. He finished the year with double-digit stops in five games. 

Westminster wrapped up its season with an 8-3 record. It is the sixth season winning eight or more games under 12th-year head coach Scott Benzel.
