CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Four members of the Loras College football team earned spots on American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) All-Conference teams as released by the league office on Friday afternoon.

Senior, Brandon Phelps, grabbed Second-Team Defense honors after a standout season as a veteran linebacker for the Duhawks.

The Morris, Ill. native added a pair of interceptions, quarterback hurries, sacks and forced fumbles to his stat line, while also registering 7.5 tackles for loss for 39 yards. This is the first All-Conference recognition of Phelps' career.

Defensive back, Cormaic Flynn, offensive lineman, Justin Hayes and tight end, Jacob Tedrow all garnered Honorable Mention status.

Flynn tied for a team-high two interceptions on the year, while also recording 14 tackles and five pass breakups. The Monmouth, Ill. native was a key member of the special teams squad as well, totaling eight kickoff returns for 283 total yards and one touchdown.

Tedrow had a breakout junior season becoming one of the top options for the Duhawk offense. The Chatham, Ill. native tallied 295 yards on 32 receptions for four touchdowns on the year.
