The Scholar All-America Team for the Division III level of the junior college section consisted just of 22 student-athletes from around the nation. In order to be eligible for United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-Region and All-America teams, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.40 cumulative GPA, play in a minimum of 75% of a team's contest, and be an elite player as supported by playing honors (All-America, All-Region, minimum All-Conference). 

The Cabrillo High School alum earned First Team All-Conference honors at the conclusion of his sophomore campaign after starting in all 18 of his appearances and serving as a crucial member of the defensive crew for the Bulldogs. 

Diaz will have the opportunity to join other honorees of the Scholar All-America Teams to be formally acknowledged for their accomplishments on the field and in the classroom at the United Soccer Coaches All-America Ceremony & Reception in January at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
