A brilliant career has been capped off with a well-deserved honor.
Lincoln senior defensive back O'Hara Fluellen was named to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association's first-team defensive squad, the league announced Tuesday.
Fluellen led the Blue Tigers with 67 tackles, four interceptions and four blocked kicks, and became the first Lincoln player to be named a first-team selection since it rejoined the MIAA last season.
The four-year starter for the Blue Tigers finished second in the MIAA in passes defended thanks to the combination of those four interceptions, which was the fourth-best total in that category, and an MIAA-best 11 pass breakups.
Fluellen also earned honorable-mention accolades for his work as a kick returner this year, as he racked up 516 yards on 24 kick returns, finishing second in the league with an average of 21.5 yards per return.
