MARIETTA, Ohio — Marietta College had three players named to the 2025 D3football.com All-Region 4 team announced Wednesday (Dec. 10) afternoon. Senior linebackers Brady McManaway (Pleasant City, Ohio/Meadowbrook) and Harley Hopkins (Zanesville, Ohio/West Muskingum) earned first and third team honors, respectively, while senior offensive lineman Brayden Adams (Fresno, Ohio/Garaway) was placed on the second team.

"We are very proud of Brady, Brayden and Harley. All three are excellent football players and leaders. They are shining examples of what Marietta College produces," Marietta head football coach Tom Kaufman said. "Brady's play-making ability, Brayden's toughness, and Harley's physicality were impressive to watch. We will miss these three players greatly and I am excited for them to be recognized for their talents and contributions to the football program."

A preseason All-American, McManaway is making his second appearance on the all-region team after earning third honors last season. The three-time All-OAC linebacker finished the season with 90 tackles, including 13 tackles for a loss. McManaway intercepted a pair of passes and recovered three fumbles this fall.

Adams earned all-region accolades for the first time in his career. The offensive tackle is a two-time first team All-OAC honoree. Adams started all 10 games and anchored the Pioneer offensive line that allowed just 10 sacks all season. 

Hopkins, also a preseason All-American, is a two-time all-region player after earning first team recognition last year. The three-time first team All-OAC linebacker ranked among the league leaders in several defensive categories. He was fourth in tackles averaging 8.4 per game, including 14 for a loss. Hopkins finished with 4.0 sacks and forced a pair of fumbles.

Marietta finished the season with a 5-5 overall record and went 3-5 in the OAC.
