Humboldt Lacrosse Spotlight: Alec Vargas, FOS

Alec Vargas returns for his sophomore season ready to build on last year’s success. As a middie and faceoff specialist, Alec took 77% of the team’s faceoffs and earned All-League honors as a freshman.

A Corona native, Alec chose Humboldt for its unique major in Applied Fire Science and Management and, of course, the chance to play lacrosse. His main motivation? His grandma, who inspires him every day. When Alec isn’t dominating faceoffs, you might find him at car shows or jamming to Lil Wayne. His ideal lunch companion? LeBron James — mainly to squeeze in some basketball after.

With his competitive spirit and dedication to improving the team, Alec is primed for another big year. Keep an eye out for him at midfield, winning faceoffs and helping lead Humboldt to new heights!

“I’m excited to play another season of lacrosse with everyone and go further than last year, I’m also thrilled to play in the alumni game,” he said. “I just hope I don’t get hit on the head like last year.”
