SUWANEE, Ga. -- In an announcement made today from the conference office, Texas Lutheran's Weston Guzman was named the 2024 SCAC Football Elite 19 award winner.
Guzman, a junior running back from McAllen, Texas, currently holds a cumulative GPA of 3.650 in Sociology (Criminal Justice) and earned First Team All-SCAC honors this season. He is the first-ever recipient of the award for football, as the league has not sponsored the sport since 2016, and the ninth overall TLU student-athlete to take home the league's most prestigious individual award.
Established prior to the 2018-19 academic year and meant to recognize the best of the best within each conference sponsored-sport as it relates to both academic and athletic achievement, the SCAC Elite 19 is awarded to the student-athlete who has completed the equivalent of at least 60 credit hours at his or her current institution and has at least a cumulative 3.25 GPA. The student-athlete must also have earned All-SCAC First or Second Team honors in his/her sport for that particular season.
