HERKIMER, NY-Herkimer College Athletic Director Donald Dutcher recently announced that men's soccer player Tyler Dobinson (Exmouth, England) has been named the 2019-2020 Herkimer College Male Athlete of the Year. Tyler is a two time starter who captained Herkimer to a Region III championship and the NJCAA national championship game this past fall. 

Tyler was also named to the All Mountain Valley Conference team, First Team All-Region III, Region III All-Tournament team, National All-Tournament team, First Team NJCAA All-American and Second Team United Soccer Coaches All-American team. He led a defense that only surrendered 10 goals all season. Tyler received a full scholarship to NCAA Division I Barry University in Miami. The Generals finished the season 20-0-1. 

“Tyler is a class act both on and off of the field,” said Coach Pepe Aragon. “He is a tremendous example of what a true student-athlete should be. I am confident he will do great things at Barry."

Tyler was also honored by the Kiwanis Club of Utica for being named Male Athlete of the Year, along with Herkimer Female Athlete of the Year Alexandra DeBeatham and other local college athletes. The link to the story in the Utica Observer Dispatch is here:
