The 6\u20192, 240 defensive lineman from Hamilton has been invited to National Football League Super Regional Combine in Dallas, Texas on April 7. D\u2019Aguilar received the invite based on testing results he had posted in an NFL Regional Combine in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s champ to be invited to this Combine as it gives me a personal opportunity to prove that I have what it takes despite being Canadian and whatever misconceptions that may carry,\u201d commented D\u2019Aguilar.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the goal of putting in a great performance at the Super Combine, the Hamilton defensive star will be working on improving on certain areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest thing I\u2019d like to do to prepare for the Combine is to run hills once the weather clears up,\u201d explained D\u2019Aguilar.<\/span><\/p>\n

D\u2019Aguilar has just completed his fourth season with the Marauders of Ontario University Athletics. In October 2012, he set a Canadian Interuniversity Sport record for single season sacks as he amassed 12.5 sacks in eight games. He also registered 28 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, a forced fumble, and a pass break-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHe was the top pass rusher on the Marauders defense. For his exceptional play on the field, D\u2019Aguilar was awarded the J.P. Metras Award as Lineman of the Year. In 2011, he led the Marauders to a Vanier Cup victory. This past September, he was ranked fifth on the Canadian Football League\u2019s list of the Top 15 Prospects for its 2013 draft, which is set to take place on May 6. Moreover, D\u2019Aguilar will participate in this upcoming weekend\u2019s CFL Combine.<\/span><\/p>\n
