He was 1 for 1 on penalty kicks.

"This honor is well deserved for Kolby," said Evergreen Head Coach Steve Schmidt. "He has been a leader in our program since he first arrived in 2023. Due to injuries within the team this year, he switched from playing as a midfielder to a defender for the conference season and did so with humility, poise and commitment. This award is a testament to his importance to our program, highlighted by the recognition of the coaches in our conference."

Juarez excelled at making long passes from the defensive side of the field. He also was strong on free kicks in the offensive half of the field. Juarez worked well at connecting with other players and being a team leader as the ball moved from defense to offense.
