Three players among the 33 named to the 2002 NSCAA/adidas NAIA Men's All-America Team have garnered the honor for a third year, including James Gledhill, a senior forward from the University of Mobile who was a first-team selection.

Joining Gledhill in the honors hat trick were Branko Savic, a junior forward from Lindenwood University, and senior goalkeeper James Van Dyne of Auburn University-Montgomery. Savic was a second-team selection, while Van Dyne was placed on the third team.

The team was dominated by Alabama-based schools, with nearly a third of the slots going two either Auburn-Montgomery (six) or the University of Mobile, which placed all four of its selections on the first team. The two teams locked horms in the semifinal round of the NAIA tournament, with Mobile coming out a 2-1 victor on its way to the national title.
