Midwestern State's Mere Escobar has been named a third-team All American by the United Soccer Coaches, making it his second consecutive year receiving the honor. Despite leading the Mustangs to a 20-1-1 record with 17 goals and 13 assists, Escobar only managed to secure third-team honors. This comes just one day after he was named the national player of the year and a first-team D2CCA All-American. Clayton State's Geo Rios was the only player to receive first-team honors from both associations, while Cal Poly Pomona's Cesar Ruvalcaba and Purdue Northwest's Hugo Lorenzo were the only players to earn first- or second-team spots on both All-America teams.

Why It Matters

Escobar's recognition as a two-time All American and national player of the year highlights his exceptional skill and talent in the sport of soccer. It also puts a spotlight on Midwestern State University's soccer program and showcases the caliber of players they have.
