Millersville

A linebacker's job is to make tackles, and no player in Millersville history did that job better than Tim Naylor. Millersville's all-time leader with 513 tackles and 225 solo stops, Naylor was a two-time Kodak and Don Hansen's Football Gazette Division II All-American and three-time All-PSAC East selection.
 
Naylor, a two-time team captain and two-time team defensive MVP, was the first Marauder to be a first, second or third team All-America selection two times at the Division II level. A four-year starter, Naylor helped the 1989 and 1990 teams to PSAC East Championships. As a freshman in 1989, Naylor ranked second on the team with 97 tackles. He ranked second on the team in both tackles (129) and sacks (8) and was named All-PSAC East Second Team as a sophomore in 1990. As a junior in 1991, Naylor led the team with 140 stops, made 2 ½ sacks and scored All-PSAC East First Team and All-America Third Team recognition. He was voted the team's defensive MVP at season's end.
 
The following year, Naylor set a Millersville record with 107 solo tackles, finishing the year with 148 and his third All-PSAC East First Team selection and an All-American Second Team nod. Naylor also recorded 5 ½ sacks and blocked two kicks. For the second year in a row, he was named the team's defensive MVP.
 
Naylor earned his bachelor's degree from Millersville in 1993, a master's degree in safety sciences from Indiana University (Pa.) in 1998, and was presented with the Millersville Football Alumni Award in 2001.  He is a resident of Carlisle, Pa., and is a Manager of Risk Control Services for PMA Companies. Naylor continues to live an active life competing in Ironman triathlons and staying in shape. Naylor and Tricia, his wife of 19 years, have one daughter Tess (12), who is a swimmer and field hockey player for Boiling Springs.
