Recognizing the top seven performers of the 2025 season.
November 10, 2025 by Edward Stephens, Alex Rubin and Patrick Stegemoeller in Awards
Ultiworld is pleased to announce our annual Club Awards, starting with the All-Club First Team and Player of the Year finalists in each division. While we consider both regular season and postseason performance, because of the nature of the Club division, we weight success in the Series and at Nationals above all else. The Club Awards are voted on by Ultiworld reporters, contributors, and editors.
Our All-Club teams recognize the top performers across the division. Our First Team and Second Team display the top seven and next seven players who had the best seasons. As our voting process is ordered, the top vote-getters for All-Club honors function as the ordered list in our Player of the Year voting — our highest individual award. The seven players listed here are finalists for the Player of the Year.

Club Awards Voting Breakdown
Snubs and Superlatives
All-Club 2025 First Team
Christian Boxley (Truck Stop)
With several key pieces of Truck’s offense leaving the team in the two years since their 2023 title, Christian Boxley has become even more important to DC’s O-line. Not only with his ability to get open in a matchbox or push the disc quickly through a defense’s marking scheme, but as one of the few plus defenders on DC’s offense his elite-level defense off of turns could be just as important.
Daan De Marrée (Machine)
Whether dressed in the colors of his home squad Mooncatchers at the US Open or his adopted team Machine at Nationals, no player more nearly touched pure greatness than De Marrée. His peerless focus, athleticism, and craft in 2025 confirmed him as one of the world’s seminal players, a fact reflected in his supernaturally gaudy 20-goal, 24-assist, four-block, zero-turnover line in San Diego.
Jacob Fairfax (Ring of Fire)
Power has a way of winning the day. When you can leap higher, attack a disc faster, change direction with more whiplash forces, and fight harder in a tight lane than your opponent, you put your team in position to win games. Was there anybody who hit those superlative marks more than Fairfax? Probably not, and his 20 goals at Nationals stand in testament to that idea.
Mica Glass (Rhino Slam!)
As Rhino Slam!’s O-liners rotated in and out of active play as they dealt with World Games duty and other availability concerns, Mica Glass was the rock in Rhino Slam!’s backfield guiding the herd to another semifinal appearance. His tireless motor and penchant for making a big play stood out on a team packed with stars.
Mac Hecht (Revolver)
Winning every tournament you play all season. Throwing the winning goal at Nationals to complete a 6 assist 0 turnover performance in the title game. A 6/19/0/2 slashline at Nationals. That’s about as storybook of a season as you could draw up, and Mac Hecht lived that story in 2025. As an expert in the dying field of high volume center O-line handler, Hecht had a season as good as anyone in that position since Ashlin Joye was driving Revolver to titles.
Declan Miller (Sockeye)
The hype was real folks! Since his high school days, Miller was widely considered to be among the faces of the next generation of stars. Fresh off of a college title, Miller is now making his mark on the club division. With an incredible balance of offensive playmaking and defensive chops, Miller is no doubt likely to see his name appear on many more of these lists moving forward.
John Randolph (PoNY)
There is so much to say about Randolph’s skills on both sides of the disc, but what stands out from Nationals is Randolph’s work limiting Daan De Marrée in PoNY’s semifinal loss to Machine. While PoNY typically trot out two separate D-lines, Randolph had a spot on both because few people on earth can limit a talent like De Marrée. Randolph is not only one of them, but he then carried the PoNY counterattack too and became PoNY’s most indispensable player.
