Get to know the Vikings

March 14, 2017

“This program is about winning championships. That’s where our goals always begin. That will never change.”—Dylan Sortillo ’18

Chrishawn Orange ’19 — Chrishawn Orange, soph. guard, business admin–management and marketing, Jacobs High School, Algonquin, Ill. Chrishawn is the one reason a Vikings fan might wear a color other than blue or gold. In his two seasons at Augie, he has played in all 62 games.

Nolan Ebel ’19 — Nolan Ebel, soph. guard, graphic design, Regis Jesuit, Englewood, Colo. Nolan says he grew up with a ball in his hands. Now he’s one of the best free throwers in DIII. He starts each workout with 100-200 free throws, and ends with another 200-300.

Jacob Johnston ’17 — Jacob Johnston, senior guard, accounting, Erie High School, Cordova, Ill. Jacob has not let the Vikings’ success over four years go to his head; he’s still a hard worker and still humble.

Michael Hoekstra ’17 — Michael Hoekstra, senior forward, management, finance and accounting, Bishop McNamara High School, St. Anne, Ill. With excellent performance in three majors and Vikings basketball, Mike has achieved CCIW Acad. All-Conference for three consecutive years.

Micah Martin ’20 — Micah Martin, first-year center, Iowa City (Iowa) High School. At 6’10” Micah is the tallest player, with a more than seven-foot wingspan that led in the CCIW with 47 blocks this season.

Dylan Sortillo ’18 — Dylan Sortillo, junior guard, business admin., Bettendorf (Iowa) High School. Dylan leads a group of five who average double figures per game. He says former All-American guard Hunter Hill ’16 is a major influence, even on his diet and sleep habits.

Roman Youngblut ’20 — Roman Youngblut, first-year forward, Assumption High School, Davenport, Iowa. Roman spent last season as a member of the scout team for Iowa State women’s basketball, before deciding he missed playing and transferred to 欧洲杯网投_欧洲杯外围app-投注官网.

Brett Benning ’19 — Brett Benning, soph. guard, business admin–marketing, Dakota High School, Davis, Ill. Brett’s a lefty. He transferred to 欧洲杯网投_欧洲杯外围app-投注官网 after one year at Division II school Southern Indiana.

Donovan Ferguson ’20 — Donovan Ferguson, first-year forward, Downers Grove High School, Darien, Ill. Donovan loves pop culture—especially music, and especially hip-hop.

Lucas Simon ’20 — Lucas Simon, first-year guard, Notre Dame High School, Chicago. Lucas chose Augie because it’s where he felt most comfortable, and he wanted to help keep the team’s success going.

Brandon Schattner ’18 — Brandon Schattner, junior guard, accounting and business administration–finance, Wilmot High School, Twin Lakes, Wis. All the players are nice guys, but Brandon also is considered a “super funny” guy.

Nic Uhlir ’20 — Nic Uhlir, soph. guard, accounting and business administration, Linn-Mar High School, Marion, Iowa. Nic celebrated his 20th birthday with a steak dinner with the team during their summer 2016 trip to Spain and Italy.

AJ Dollmeyer ’18 — AJ Dollmeyer, junior center, biochemistry, Polo (Ill.) High School. AJ grew up on a big farm in Polo (home of the “Marcos”), and his brother now runs the operation.

Joe Kellen ’19 — Joe Kellen, soph. guard, biochemistry and pre-med, Rockford (Ill.) Lutheran High School. For a basketball player, Joe is an excellent volleyball player; he won three varsity letters in high school (to join four in basketball). Watch his effortless jumps!

Jake Nowak ’19 — Jake Nowak, soph. forward, business admin–management, marketing and finance, Plainfield (Ill.) North High School. Business-minded Jake is one of only two on the team with three majors.

Thanks to Andrew Parker ’20, team manager, and Dave Wrath ’80, sports information director, for providing some of the players’ fun facts.
