Gerardo Zamudio Named NACC Honorable Mention

The Rockford University football program had seven players recognized by the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference on Friday morning when the NACC released its 2019 all-conference teams. Wide receiver Kalan Miller and linebacker Jallen Bashford highlighted the group with their Second Team All-NACC selections, while LaVar Johnson Jr., Adam Ambrogio, Gerardo Zamudio, Jermaine Johnson and Joey Owens all received NACC Honorable Mention status. This marks the second time in the past three seasons that Rockford has had seven players earn postseason recognition from the NACC.

Freshman punter and kicker Gerardo Zamudio was also named NACC Honorable Mention. Zamudio led the NACC in three different punting categories. He finished the year with a NACC best 35.5 yards per punt, 14 punts inside the 20-yard line and 56 total punts. His 35.5 yards per punt was also sixth best in program history. As a kicker, Zamudio connected on 19 extra points and one field goal, for a total of 22 points.
