Lawrenceville, Ga. – Kellan Klaus, a sophomore from Lake Charles, La., has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Male Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending October 7, 2012.

Klaus has started all nine games this season for the men's soccer team, serving as team captain in just his second season in a Gents uniform.

But as vital as he is to Centenary’s squad, his involvement away from Centenary made him an ideal candidate for this accolade.

Klaus coaches Upward Soccer at Summer Grove United Methodist Church and serves as the Youth Minister at Noel United Methodist Church.

The sophomore also works at Sports Spectrum, “Where Sports and Faith Connect,” and volunteers at multiple soccer camps.

Gents head coach David Orr describes Klaus as, “an awesome young man, a great leader and extremely competitive.”

Klaus follows Southwestern’s Evan Perkins, who was honored with the award a week ago.
