ALLIANCE, Ohio – Mount Union senior running back Tyler Echeverry (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier) was named a nominee for the 2024 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team.

"You'll never regret making someone else's life better," said Tim Tebow, two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, 2008 Wuerffel Trophy recipient, and 2009 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team member. "Year after year, I'm inspired by these incredible nominees who go above and beyond to help others."

Echeverry ran for 602 yards (6.4 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns last season (both career highs), earning All-OAC Second Team. Off the field, Echeverry has volunteered at a local church setting up toy and book drives, helped the National Marrow Donor Program to find lifesavers for patients around the globe battling blood cancers or blood diseases in need of a donor (signed himself up to be a donor), assisted with distributing food at homeless shelters, and has trained and mentored younger athletes academically and athletically.

The Purple Raiders, who were picked second in the Lindy's Sports Magazine preseason rankings, start the 2024 season on Saturday, September 7 at Ferrum College at 1 p.m.
