Terwilliger has been named to a bevy of All-America teams, in addition to winning the Harlon Hill as the Division II player of the year. He was the first-team quarterback on the Daktronics team and second team on the Associated Press Little All-American, CollegeSportsReport.com and d2football.com teams.

He was second in the country with a 186.1 passing efficiency and led the country with 354.3 yards of total offense per game.

Carfagno, a senior fullback from Phoenixville, earned his third All-America selection.
