Tisdale was a three-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference selected for the Green and White. He finished the 2004 season with 51 tackles, including 18 tackles for loss, eight sacks, four fumble recoveries and four caused fumbles.

He is one of 42 NCAA Division III seniors from around the country who will make up this year's team. Former Central (Iowa) College Head Coach Ron Schipper will coach the team for the eighth consecutive year.

The AFCA was founded in 1922 and currently has more than 10,000 members around the world ranging from the high school level to the professional ranks.
