“It is difficult to put into words what this accomplishment means to me,”
Mullane said. “This past year has been such an exciting time in my life with
applying to medical school and being elected as a captain of the football team
which I have followed for years before the first time I ever put on a maroon
helmet. I believe just being nominated for this honor was very special, but to
be selected as a finalist and as a recipient of this incredible postgraduate
honor is a blessing and an honor I will remember for the rest of my life. This
scholarship will go towards paying for my medical education so that I can
fulfill my dream of becoming a physician and improving the quality of life for
others.”
In all, 147 student-athletes were nominated by their school’s Sports Information Director for the award as 50 came from FBS schools, 35 from FCS institutions, 12 from Division II, 41 from Division III and nine from NAIA. Mullane was one of two student-athletes nominated from the Lone Star Conference as senior quarterback Wesley Wood of Eastern New Mexico was the other.

“Aaron has been a tremendous leader and the ultimate example of what a student
athlete is,” said West Texas A&M head coach Don Carthel.
“His ability to balance his workouts and class schedule, while still performing
numerous duties with the medical field and community service projects, speaks
volumes as to what kind of young man we have been working with. He was elected
as one of our team captains and his leadership has been crucial to our success
as one of the top Division II programs in the country.”
