Seton Hill senior defensive lineman Dioh Desuah was named the PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Year, marking the second straight season that a Griffin earned the title. Linebacker Jaylen McDuffie earned the award last year.  

Desuah finished the season with 39 total tackles, 21 of them solo. He added 14 tackles for loss and five sacks.

The Griffins football team made history in 2023 with its first winning season in the PSAC West and its first overall winning season since 2008.

Seton Hill ended the season with four straight wins, earning a 6-5 record overall and a 4-3 record in the PSAC West. The team also recorded their first-ever victory over Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a 35-28 win at home.

With their final game of the season – a 30-10 win away against Millersville University – head coach Dan Day became the winningest football coach in Seton Hill history. Day, an alumnus and member of the inaugural Griffins football team, was also part of the team’s last winning season as a player in 2008.
