Aurora's Chaney Adds Two More All-American Team Selections to Resume

AURORA, Ill. --- Two more post season All-American Team recognitions were added to the resume for Aurora University junior defensive lineman JP Chaney when D3football.com and the Walter Camp Foundation released their 2025 All-American teams.

Chaney was earlier selected as a 2025 AP Third-Team All-American, Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference First-Team All-Conference and D3football.com First-Team All-Region recipient. 

He now adds the prestigous Walter Camp Foundation All-American Team honor and a fourth-team D3football.com All-American selection to his list of honors coming off a tremendous 2025 season on the field as a defensive lineman.

On the season, Chaney led the AU defense with 14.0 sacks, 28.0 tackles for loss, 13 quarterback hurries, 70 tackles, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one blocked kick and two pass break-ups. His tackles for loss and his sacks per game both rank among the tops nationally.

In his career, Chaney is now an All-American (2025 AP, Walter Camp and D3football.com and 2025 pre-season D3football.com), a two-time D3football.com All-Region performer and two-time NACC All-Conference selection.

AU finished the 2025 season with an 8-3 overall record, were 2025 SmileyCookie.com LakeFront Bowl Champions while finishing second in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference with a 6-2 record.
