Keionta Davis and Corey Levin made yet another All-America team, this time the STATS Football Championship Subdivision team.

But this time, one of their University of Tennessee at Chattanooga teammates joined them.

Linebacker Nakevion Leslie was a third-team honoree on the STATS (media) team, after a season in which he had 109 tackles, 5.5 for loss, an interception that he returned for a touchdown and four forced fumbles. He's a three-time All-Southern Conference selection.

Davis made the STATS All-America first team after the SoCon defensive player of the year had 10.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss in 2016. He came to UTC from Red Bank High School.

Levin, a STATS second-team All-American, was a three-time first-team All-SoCon selection on the offensive line and received the Jacobs Blocking Award as the league's top lineman after the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

All three were seniors this year for the Mocs, who went to the FCS playoffs for the third year in a row. Junior center Jacob Revis also received All-America distinction this postseason, as a College Sports Madness third-teamer.
