MANKATO, Minn. --- Minnesota State seniors TreShawn Watson and Nathan Gribble were named to the D2Football.com Elite 100 Team for their efforts on the field this past season.

The Elite 100 is D2Football.com's version of an All-America team. Players are selected by staff members of D2Football.com with input from sitting head coaches as well as professional football scouting veteran Josh Buchanan. The team includes first and second team selections for offense, defense and special teams along with 25 "Squad" players for offense and defense. Squad players are equivalent to "honorable mention" selections in similar national recognition lists.

Both Watson and Gribble were named to the Squad Offense Team.

A wide receiver from Antioch, Ill., TreShawn Watson started in six games this past season as he notched 732 receiving yards and five touchdown catches. He recorded more than 100 receiving yards in five games this season, including a season-best 149 yards against Sioux Falls. Earlier this season, Watson was named to the All-NSIC First Team.

An offensive lineman from West Salem, Wis., Nathan Gribble played and started in all 14 games for the Mavericks on the offensive line this past season. As a member of the offensive line, Gribble helped the Mavericks rush for 2,908 yards and 38 touchdowns this season, while allowing just 12 sacks. Earlier this season, Gribble was named to the All-NSIC First Team, the D2CCA All-Central Region First Team and a Don Hansen All-American Honorable Mention.

Minnesota State finished its 2025 season with a 10-4 record as the Mavericks advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
