TAMPA, Fla. — A pair of Thomas University Night Hawks have been recognized on the 2026 Sun Conference Flag Football All-Conference teams following a strong season for the program.

Linebacker/defensive back Destiny Lockett earned Second Team All-Conference honors, while defensive utility player Dyva Jones also claimed a Second Team selection. The two were among the anchors of a Thomas defense that recorded 32 interceptions and 465 total tackles on the season.
