The Seguin, Texas native recorded 24 tackles including 8 for loss and 5.5 sacks. He also recorded 29 pressures per PFF. Box is one of several key defenders back for the Vaqueros who are looking to build on last season’s stretch where they finished with victories in their final 3 games. #FCS #RallyTheValley #UTRGV #WinToday

THE TALENT RUNS DEEP 😱 Honoring the Southland’s Second Team All-Conference — offense and defense.

Love it

Defensive end Ian Box @Ianbox9 was the first player in program history to transfer to UTRGV. He’s now set to lead the Vaqueros into a Southland Conference matchup against his former team, the No. 18-ranked Lamar Cardinals. #UTRGVFootball rgvsports.com/utrgv-de-box-l…

DITV Spotlight Ian Box @Ianbox9 Defensive End | #9 Seguin, TX | Seguin High School alum @Seguin_Football Seguin, Texas — known as the “Pecan Capital of Texas” and home to the world’s largest pecan — built Ian Box tough. From Friday nights under Coach Travis Bush at Seguin High to reuniting with him in the Valley, Box brings that same rugged edge with him to UTRGV. At Seguin, Box was more than just a standout — he was a force. He stacked up 165 tackles, with 55.5 for loss and 20.5 sacks across three varsity seasons. That dominance earned him District 12-5A Defensive MVP honors and a spot on the KSAT Elite 12 list, cementing his reputation as one of Central Texas’ most feared defenders. After redshirting and battling injury at Lamar, Box made history as the first transfer in UTRGV football program history — a trailblazer setting the path for others to follow into the Valley. Seguin High School has long produced competitors across sports. Former NFL defensive end Ernest “Big Cat” Jones spent 10 years in the league after his days as a Matador. The school has turned out multiple state track and field medalists, standout basketball players, and baseball talent like Marion McClure, who pitched professionally in the minor leagues. That tradition of toughness and athletic success runs deep in Seguin. Now, Ian Box is ready to carry that Seguin legacy into the 956. He’s #9 on the roster, but he’s looking to be #1 in disruption — a defensive end built to put offenses on the pit and serve them up smoked. The Valley is about to find out just how much bite this dawg has. #UTRGVditv #WinToday #rallythevalley #Southlandstrong
