FAYETTE, Iowa - Mante Morrow added another accolade to his spectacular 2025 season, earning D2Football.com's Elite 100 honors. The senior wide receiver was named as a part of the "Squad" in Tuesday's release.
The Joliet, Illinois native adds to his impressive resume of awards this season as he was also a D2CCA Super Region Three First Team selection and an All-GLVC First Team selection. He was also a Harlon Hill Nominee and earned a spot on the Don Hansen All-America team as an honorable mention.
He became the latest Peacock to earn the honor since defensive end Erik Hansen won it in 2021. Morrow totaled 1,007 receiving yards with 12 touchdowns this season, marking a career-high in both categories. The senior receiver ranked sixth in the country in receiving touchdowns and ninth in receiving yards per game. It was also the third 1,000-yard receiving season in program history.
The Elite 100 is D2Football.com's version of an All-America team. Players are selected by staff members of D2Football.com with input from sitting head coaches as well as professional football scouting veteran Josh Buchanan. The team includes first and second team selections for offense, defense and special teams, along with 25 "Squad" players for offense and defense. Squad players are equivalent to "honorable mention" selections in similar national recognition lists.
