NORFOLK, Va., - The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) has announced its 2025 All-MEAC Football Teams, recognizing the hard work, dedication, and standout performances of student-athletes across the conference.

13 Bulldogs earned All-MEAC Postseason honors, including two (2) selected as top winners of the year.

South Carolina State posted five on the First Team and eight on the Second Team respectively.

All awards and honors were voted on by the MEAC's head football coaches and sports information directors.

The MEAC's Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year will be revealed during the National Football Foundation (NFF) Annual Awards Press Conference on Tuesday, Dec. 9, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino beginning at 9 a.m. PST. The press conference will stream live on ESPN+.

This year's specialty award recipients include:

• Offensive Lineman of the Year: Roger Smith, South Carolina State
• Coach of the Year: Chennis Berry, South Carolina State

Roger Smith delivers back-to-back excellence for South Carolina State, becoming the second consecutive Bulldog offensive lineman to earn the MEAC's highest honor in the trenches. A dominant and steady force on the offensive front, Smith anchored a unit that powered the Bulldogs to 5,050 yards of total offense, averaging 420.8 yards per game.

With Smith leading the way, S.C. State paced the MEAC in passing offense (284.0 ypg), ranking ninth nationally, and finished second in the conference in total offense (413.0 ypg), 20th nationally. His consistent performance earned him four MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors during the 2025 season, showcasing his weekly impact and leadership.

In just his second year leading South Carolina State, Chennis Berry has solidified himself as one of the most dynamic coaches in HBCU football. Since taking over the program, Berry has engineered a championship-caliber culture and remains undefeated in MEAC play (10–0).

Berry guided the Bulldogs to a 9–3 overall record and a perfect 5–0 conference mark in 2025, securing their second consecutive MEAC Championship. His leadership once again propelled S.C. State to the Cricket Celebration Bowl, marking the program's second straight appearance under his direction.

Others earning honors were Raymond Moore III, from Morgan State earning Rookie of the Year honors.
