NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – The Northeast 10 (NE10) Conference announced its 2025 Football All-Conference Teams on Thursday afternoon, with five members of the Pace University football program earning postseason honors. Graduate wide receiver Elizjah Lewis, sophomore punter Decker McNally, and junior return specialist Jhamier Howard were each named to the NE10 First Team, while junior linebacker Travis Osterhout and graduate defensive back Ibrahim Diallo earned Second-Team selections.

The honors highlight another season of standout individual performances for the Blue and Gold, as Pace closed out the 2025 campaign with several of the league's top playmakers on both sides of the ball.

Graduate wide receiver Elizjah Lewis closes his Pace career with a First-Team Offense All-Conference selection after producing one of the NE10's most explosive offensive seasons. Lewis finished the year with 797 receiving yards, 49 receptions, and a conference-leading 10 receiving touchdowns, averaging 79.7 yards per game. Lewis posted four 100-yard performances, highlighted by 151 yards and three touchdowns vs. Post, 158 yards and two touchdowns at St. Anselm, and 167 yards and two touchdowns at New Haven. He capped his season with 119 yards and another score against Franklin Pierce. His big-play ability made him one of the most dangerous receivers in the region.

Sophomore punter Decker McNally earns First-Team Defense recognition after establishing himself as the top punter in the NE10. McNally totaled 56 punts for 2,258 yards, averaging 40.3 yards per punt, with a long of 58 yards. He pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 16 times, delivered 23 fair catches, and launched six punts of 50+ yards. His best outings included 263 yards at East Stroudsburg (43.8 avg.), 308 yards at Assumption (44.0 avg.), and 195 yards vs. Pace (48.8 avg.). McNally's ability to flip field position was instrumental throughout the season as he led arguably the most effective special teams in the league.

Junior Jhamier Howard earns First-Team Offense honors as one of the conference's most dynamic return specialists. Howard finished the season with 698 kickoff return yards and an average of 33.2 yards per return, along with 66 punt return yards. He recorded two kickoff return touchdowns, including a 95-yard score vs. St. Anselm and a 96-yard touchdown at Franklin Pierce, both among the longest returns in the NE10 this fall. Howard added 89 rushing yards and 39 receiving yards, showcasing his versatility and explosiveness on the turf.

Junior linebacker Travis Osterhout earns Second-Team Defense honors after anchoring the Setters with 105 total tackles, including 8.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, and three quarterback hurries. He posted double-digit tackles in five games, highlighted by 11 at East Stroudsburg, 10 at Franklin Pierce, and a season-high 16 tackles in the finale against Franklin Pierce. Osterhout's leadership and consistency made him a central figure in Pace's defensive success.

Graduate defensive back Ibrahim Diallo earned Second-Team Defense recognition after delivering a steady, veteran presence in the secondary. Diallo totaled 51 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, and nine pass breakups, ranking among the NE10 leaders in passes defended. Diallo's combination of coverage ability and physical tackling helped solidify Pace's defensive backfield throughout the season.

The five All-Conference selections reflect the depth and growth of Pace Football as the Setters continue to build their presence within the Northeast 10 Conference.
