Presenting The All-CMFL Team

Excellence Earned: Congratulations to the 2026 All-CMFL Team

Written by Coach C | SemiPro GameDay

Every season, thousands of plays are made across the Central Midwest Football League. Touchdowns are scored, championships are chased, and unforgettable moments become part of league history. But only a select few players separate themselves from an already elite field.

Today, we proudly recognize those individuals.

Congratulations to every athlete selected to the 2026 All-CMFL First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention. 

Your selection represents more than statistics. 

It reflects the respect of coaches, media members, and league contributors who witnessed your commitment, consistency, leadership, and impact throughout one of the most competitive seasons the CMFL has ever seen.

Being named All-CMFL is not simply about having a great game or even a great month. It is about sustaining excellence from Week 1 through the postseason race. It is about showing up every Saturday and proving you belong among the very best football players in the Midwest.

The 2026 First Team showcases many of the league's biggest stars. From MVP-caliber quarterback play by Keante Green, explosive playmakers like Dylan Chinn, Garyeon Simpson, and Torre Chatman, dominant trench warriors such as Paris Williams, Gerard Wheeler, and Brandon Watson, to defensive game wreckers including Lerenzo Fagan Jr., Jordan Ragsdale, DeMarco Hubbard, Daylan Poole, Austyn Romine, and an elite secondary loaded with lockdown defenders, this group represents the absolute standard of CMFL football.

The Second Team is equally deserving of recognition. These players delivered outstanding seasons and proved every week they belong among the league's elite. Quarterback Justin Baker once again showcased why he is one of the premier passers in the nation, while stars such as Justus Pedrero, Shaq Minnis, Julian Hollins, Jose Bautista, Starshine Harris-Palmer, Chiante Stewart, and many others helped define one of the deepest talent pools the CMFL has ever assembled.

Special recognition also goes to every standout on special teams. Too often the game's hidden heroes go unnoticed, but championships are won because of field position, clutch kicks, precision snapping, reliable holders, and game-changing returns. Your contributions mattered just as much as every touchdown and every sack.

Most importantly, this honor belongs not only to the players but also to the coaches who developed them, the teammates who battled alongside them, the organizations that invested in them, and the families who supported them throughout the season.

The 2026 All-CMFL Team is more than a list of names.

It is a snapshot of greatness.

It represents the highest level of football the CMFL has to offer and serves as a reminder of just how much talent exists throughout this league. Years from now, these selections will stand as part of your football legacy—a testament to the countless hours spent in the weight room, on the practice field, and under the lights on Saturday nights.

From everyone at SemiPro GameDay, congratulations to every First Team, Second Team and Honorable Mention All-CMFL selections.

You earned it.

Now the challenge becomes even greater.

Defend it.
