FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (May 12, 2021) – Picking up where he left off in 2019, Northern Arizona kicker
Luis Aguilar once again landed on the Associated Press All-American First Team.
Combined with the seven honors earned after his most recent season, Aguilar now holds eight All-American honors during his NAU career.
NAU's senior kicker connected on 9 of his 10 field goals during the spring season while also extending his consecutive extra points streak. Adding another eight to his run that dates back to the 2018 season, Aguilar is currently at 64 straight made extra points and trails Micky Penaflor's program record of 77 set between 1987 and 1989 by 13.
Aguilar's career extra point percentage of 98.8 percent, converting 83-of-84 attempts, currently ranks atop NAU's record books. Additionally, Aguilar's 81.4 percent on field goals, hitting 35-of-43, also ranks first in program history as well as fifth among active FCS kickers.
Now at 188 career points scored, Aguilar will enter the Fall 2021 season within reach of Robbie Dehaze's record of 302 points scored from 2005 to 2008. Aguilar scored a program-record 118 during the 2019 season when he ranked second in the FCS among kickers and 10th among all players and sits 114 back of tying Dehaze's mark.
Last month, Aguilar was a unanimous All-Big Sky First Team selection for NAU as 12 Lumberjacks earned all-conference honors and is now one of seven Big Sky
Conference players among the AP's two teams.
Joining Eastern Washington quarterback Eric Barriere and Southern Utah linebacker La'akea Kaho'ohanohano-Davis, Aguilar is one of just three to earn a spot on the first team. Weber State offensive lineman Ty Whitworth, Weber State linebacker Conner Mortensen, Idaho linebacker Tre Walker and Idaho punter Cade Coffey rounded out the conference's honorees.
