Pacific Lutheran football players Andrew Eisentrout and Craig Chiado have earned d3football.com All-West Region honors.

Eisentrout (Olympia, Wash. / Olympia HS), a junior defensive end, received first team honors and Chiado, a junior wide receiver, was selected to the second team.

Eisentrout finished the regular season ranked second in Division III football for quarterback sacks (14.5 for 79 yards) and tackles for loss (22.5 for 103 yards). A first team All-Northwest Conference selection, Eisentrout had 67 total tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and three forced fumbles during the 2006 season.

“Andrew is a first class kid who had an unbelievable year. He made dynamic plays every game,” PLU defensive coordinator Jud Keim said of the 6-4, 230-pound Eisentrout. “He is an extremely quick athlete for a guy his size, and we’re very excited that he’s only a junior.”

Chiado, a two-time first team All-Northwest Conference selection, had 55 catches for 849 yards and seven touchdowns as Pacific Lutheran compiled a 4-5 record.
