Deven was joined on the All-SMAL first team by quarterback Anthony Castaneda, wide receiver Beau Chandon, offensive/defensive lineman Daniel Villescaz and linebacker/offensive lineman Michael Felix.

The Cardinals had tight end/defensive lineman Chase Canevari, defensive back/wide receiver Kameron Arnold and offensive/defensive linemen Corey Jahn and Brandon Brooks on the All-SMAL second team.

Defensive back/wide receiver Justin Rodegerdts was an All-SMAL honorable mention.
