CARROLLTON, Ga. – Three UWG football standouts were named on Thursday as Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) All-Super Region Two Performers. Mechane Slade and Deontae Overstreet earned First Team honors while Omar Cervantes was the Second Team placekicker.
 
Slade, a senior wideout from Roswell, set the West Georgia single-season record for receptions with 78, amassing eight touchdowns and 961 yards. His receiving yards ranked third best in UWG single-season history and was third-best across the Gulf South Conference in 2021.
 
West Georgia's defensive First Team selection, Deontae Overstreet, led the UWG defense with 59 tackles on the year including 40 solo stops. The Tifton native had one interception, a sack, and led the league in forced fumbles with three.
 
On the second team, UWG was represented by Omar Cervantes. A native of Fort Valley, Cervantes knocked in 15 field goals in his junior season, setting the all-time field goals made mark in the process. Cervantes has now made 40 field goals in his career. This season, Cervantes was 15-of-19 and is one of three kickers in UWG history to make 15 field goals in a single season and the only kicker in history to accomplish that feat twice.
 
Three is the most All-Super Region Two honorees for UWG since the Wolves landed four in 2018. West Georgia has had at least one player on the D2CCA All-Super Region Two Team every year since 2012.
 
Slade and Overstreet will both advance to the national ballot with a chance to be named D2CCA All-America. The All-America teams will be released on December 16.
