ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Senior Keysean Amison has been named to the 2022 D3football.com All-America team, entering a special place in program history. He earns the honor as a member of the third team.

He becomes just the third Thunder student-athlete to be recognized by the three organizations that put out NCAA Division III All-America Teams including D3football.com, the Associated Press (AP) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He joins Lamar Carswell and Jeffery Barnett who both achieved the feat in 2018.

Earlier this week Amison was named a first team selection by the AFCA and a second team selection by the AP. Earlier this fall he was named the 2022 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Defensive Most Valuable Player, also earning a spot on first team All-MIAA.

He was a menacing presence in the secondary for the Thunder throughout the season. During the MIAA portion of the season, he led conference competitors with 32 solo tackles, 38 assists, 70 total tackles and 11.7 tackles per game. Over the entire season he led those same categories among MIAA competitors and on the team with 53 solo tackles, 45 assists, 98 total tackles and 9.8 tackles per game. He also recorded a pair of forced fumbles to tie for most in the conference.

Amison earned MIAA Defensive Athlete of the Week for his performance against Hope College. During that game he turned in 19 tackles, a career single game high, while the team as a whole finished with 86. It is tied for the third highest single game total in the program's NCAA Division III history and tied for fifth overall.
