Former Nogales standout Luis Aguilar named top kicker in the nation at NAU

Luis Aguilar (NAU)

Northern Arizona junior place-kicker Luis Aguilar (Nogales) was announced as the recipient of the 2019 Fred Mitchell Award on Monday. The award is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate place-kicker in the FCS, Division II, III, NAIA and NJCAA not only for their performance on the field but for their community service efforts, according to a release from NAU.

“This award means everything to me,’ Aguilar told AllSportsTucson.com. “It’s very humbling and I’m glad I get to share it with my friends and family while I’m back home for the holidays. I’m especially proud to be able to represent my hometown of Nogales. Coming from this small town has really shaped me into the person I am today and will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Aguilar made 22-of-25 attempts this season and ranks third among all FCS kickers with a field goal percentage of 88.8. He was a perfect 52-of-52 on extra point attempts and Aguilar also led the country with 61 kickoffs that resulted in touchbacks.
 
Aguilar was nearly perfect – 20-of-21 – on attempts under 50 yards and he was successful from 57 and 54 yards out this season. His career-best 57-yarder against Northern Colorado on Oct. 5 was the longest in the FCS this season.

Aguilar is also a regular volunteer in the community having spent time this offseason dedicating his time and efforts to help assist the Flagstaff community following the Museum Fire in August filling sandbags to be utilized in flood and fire prevention efforts. He also assisted the Salvation Army in their annual “Back to School Buddy” program where he partnered with a local child to help him pick out clothes and supplies for the upcoming school year.

Both Aguilar and former Mountain View standout Jeff Cotton (Idaho) were named to the All-Big Sky Team.

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
