GREENWOOD, Ind.  Three members of the Methodist football team have been named to the College Sports Communicators organization's 2025 Academic All-District team, which was announced on Tuesday. Senior Kadin Beaver, junior Mason Ketchie and sophomore Tanner Zill all represented Methodist among the list of NCAA Division III honorees.
 
Beaver played in all 10 games for the Monarchs as the team's reliable long snapper in 2025, completing a four-year career at Methodist. He recorded a career-high three tackles on the season as well as one fumble recovery.

Starting all 10 games on the right side of the offensive line, Ketchie helped block for an offense that produced 223 yards of total offense per game and 20 touchdowns on the season. He was one of only two offensive linemen to play in every contest.

Zill made strides as a second-year wide receiver, appearing in nine games with at least one reception in seven contests. He totaled 14 catches for 120 yards, with a season-best 29 yards versus LaGrange College. His longest reception of the season went for 22 yards in the season finale at Greensboro College.
