Rogers and Aguilar Named to ALL-NCCAA Football Team

A very short write-up I did today for some football awards for Trinity International University players.


Juniors Dominique Rogers and Vincent Aguilar received recognition for their play in the 2011 season, as Rogers was named to first team ALL-NCCAA Football Team defense and Aguilar received special mention for defense.

Rogers, a junior defensive back from Plano, Texas, played in nine games for the Trojans’ football team in 2011.  In those games, he recorded 28 total tackles, 6 pass break-ups, 2 tackles for loss 1 forced fumble, and an impressive team-leading 5 interceptions.
 
Aguilar, a junior from Ontario, California, played in six games for the Trojans in 2011.  The defense end recorded a team-high 6 sacks, 26 total tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 1 forced fumble.  Aguilar was also named NAIA Defensive Player of the Week earlier in the year for his effort against Concordia (Mich.) in a 13-10 home win on Sept. 10.  In the game, he recorded 12 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2 pass break ups, and an astounding 5 sacks.

The Trojans will continue to work hard this spring semester and into the summer in preparation for their season opener on Aug. 25 at home against Trinity Bible College.
