FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (February 11, 2020) – Adding to his wide range of All-American honors dating back to the end of the 2019 season, senior kicker
Luis Aguilar was named to the Athlon FCS All-American team on Thursday.
One of three Big Sky Conference players on the team, Aguilar is joined by Weber State running back Josh Davis and offensive lineman Ty Whitworth in being honored by Athlon.
Named to seven All-American teams after his breakout junior season, Aguilar earned four preseason All-American honors ahead of the expected fall season. Athlon's honor is the second of the week for Aguilar, bringing his total to six before kicking off the season.
Aguilar enters the spring schedule coming off of a breakout season as he set the school's record for kicking points in a season at 118, and earned seven All-American honors and the Fred Mitchell Award honoring him as the top kicker in the FCS, Division II, Division III, NAIA and NJCAA.
The senior enters the year on a streak of 56 consecutive extra points made and currently holds the program's longest made field goal since 2000 after hitting a 57-yard field goal against Northern Colorado. Northern Arizona's kicker also led the nation with 61 touchbacks, as 76% of Aguilar's kickoffs came without returns.
The Lumberjacks open the spring season in Flagstaff on Feb. 27 against Southern Utah, the first of a six-game schedule spread across eight weeks.
