HAMMOND, La. – The trophy cases of Southeastern Louisiana University seniors Kaleb Proctor, KK Reno and Brandon Hayes continued to fill up Wednesday, as all three were named to the Stats Perform FCS All-America Team.
 
Proctor was named a first team defensive lineman, while Reno and Hayes were both second team selections. A full list detailing the Stats Perform FCS All-America Team is available at https://theanalyst.com/articles/fcs-all-america-team-2025-football-season.
 
The three All-America selections are the most SLU has ever received on the Stats Perform team. The Lions placed two on the Stats Perform (previously The Sports Network and STATS) All-America team in 2014, 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
 
Proctor and Reno both received their third All-America nods of the week, while Hayes earned his second selection. Monday saw Proctor earn first team honors, Reno receive second team accolades and Hayes earn third team recognition on the FCS Football Central All-America Team.
 
Tuesday saw Proctor (second team) and Reno (honorable mention) recognized on the Associated Press FCS All-American squad. All three of Wednesday's honorees were first team All-Southland Conference selections last month with Proctor (Player of the Year) and Reno (Defensive Player of the Year) claiming two of the league's top individual honors.
 
Proctor (nine sacks, 13 TFL), Reno (126 tackles, 10.5 TFL) and Hayes (30.7 kick return average, nation-leading two kickoff return touchdowns) were two of the leaders of a Southeastern team that finished 9-4 overall and advanced to the NCAA FCS playoffs for the sixth time in school history (2013, 2014, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2025).
 
A total of 10 Southland Conference student-athletes were named to the Stats Perform FCS All-America team. Proctor was joined on the first team by SFA linebacker Jaydon Southard, defensive back Charles Demmings and punt returner Bugs Mortimer.
 
Reno, Hayes and SFA defensive back Jalen Mayo were the league's second team representatives. The third team included UIW wide receiver Jalen Walthall, SFA offensive lineman Erik Gray and Lamar defensive back Kristian Pugh.
