OUAZ quarterback Luke Giron has been named the Sooner Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, earning the league's top offensive honor after producing one of the most efficient and dynamic seasons in the NAIA while guiding the Spirit to their fifth SAC championship. Giron's performance anchored an OUAZ offense that finished first in the SAC in scoring and total offense, and his consistency at the position played a pivotal role in the Spirit's 8-1 season and 7-1 conference record.
Across nine games, Giron threw for 2,046 yards and 22 touchdowns while completing 54 percent of his passes and averaging a remarkable 15.4 yards per completion, the product of both his downfield accuracy and OUAZ's explosive offensive scheme. He led the SAC in passing yards per game and passing touchdowns and posted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio in the conference, throwing just six interceptions all season. His steady decision-making, balanced aggression, and command of the offense culminated in a conference-best quarterback efficiency rating of 147.4.
Giron's impact extended beyond the passing game, as he added 359 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground at 4.0 yards per carry, providing the Spirit with a dual-threat presence that kept defenses off balance and prolonged scoring drives. Whether extending plays with his legs, delivering timely throws in tight windows, or orchestrating late-game drives, Giron consistently elevated the offense in critical moments.
Under his leadership, the Spirit ranked 13th in the NAIA in scoring at 41.2 points per game and first in the SAC in total offense at 411.7 yards per contest. His ability to push the ball vertically, control tempo, and protect possession helped OUAZ maintain one of the most balanced and efficient offensive attacks in the country.
Giron's Offensive Player of the Year honor further solidifies his place among the most impactful quarterbacks in program history and highlights his importance in a championship season defined by explosive scoring, disciplined execution, and consistent playmaking. His standout year not only led OUAZ to another SAC title but also reinforced the program's standard of offensive excellence.
