Rodgers recognized with Frontier Champion of Character Award

HELENA, Mont. — Bellevue University junior Dylan Rodgers, a native of Meridian, Idaho, has been selected as a 2025-26 Frontier Conference Champion of Character Award recipient for men's golf, presented by WinWon Technologies. The announcement was made today by the Frontier Conference office following this month's Frontier Conference Tournament.

The Champion of Character Award is presented annually to a student-athlete who best exemplifies the NAIA's Champions of Character initiative and its five core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership. Each Frontier Conference head coach submits a nomination based on how their student-athletes demonstrate these values both in competition and throughout their campus and community involvement.

"Dylan Rodgers exemplifies the core values of the NAIA Champions of Character initiative—integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership," said BU head men's golf coach Rob Brown. "Dylan is a nice, courteous, and determined young man who competes with honesty, shows consistent respect for others, and takes responsibility for his preparation and performance. He demonstrates strong sportsmanship in all situations and leads by example, positively impacting his teammates and program. His character reflects the true spirit of a Champion of Character student-athlete."

Rodgers earned first-team all-Frontier Conference honors this season, as well as Academic all-Frontier Conference accolades, and was named an NAIA Scholar-Athlete. He was second on the team with a 74.6 strokes-per-round scoring average and finished in the top 10 in three tournaments in 2025-26.  

The Champions of Character initiative aims to place the NAIA's five core values at the center of the student-athlete experience, helping participants find balance on and off the court. The program encourages student-athletes to value the right behaviors and uphold the NAIA's standard of being "The Right Way to Play."
