The Air Force Falcons finished off their 2024 season at 5-7 overall and fifth in the final the Mountain West Conference standings. As the season came to a close, the Mountain West Conference released their picks for the all-conference teams, and the Falcons saw two of their own named. Senior offensive lineman Alex Moore and junior punter Luke Freer were named second-team all-Mountain West. Moore was part of a fresh offensive line for the Air Force, with no returning starters on the roster. The efforts of the offensive line pushed the Falcons to finish the season ranked No. 11 in the nation in rushing. Junior Costen Cooley, also a member of the offensive line who played a major role was selected honorable mention. The other Falcons with an honorable mention selection included seniors Osaro Aihie (ILB), Camby Goff (DB), Matthew Dapore (PK), and Jamari Bellamy (DB). Freer was voted second-team all-Mountain West after 24 punts with an average of 47.5 yards per punt, which broke the Air Force single-season record
