FROM THE COACH
"We are excited to recognize 11 exceptional young men who have made a lasting impact on our program," head coach Kevin Sakuda said. "Their contributions extend well beyond their accomplishments on the field. They have consistently embodied the values that are important to who we are as a team and how we interact as individuals. Each has led and shown a genuine commitment to serve their teammates in their own way. Their daily example has elevated the standard for how we train, compete, and represent SPU on the field and in the classroom.  I am grateful for each of these guys and couldn't be prouder of the men they have become over their time at SPU."
