@FCSNationRadio1 @cfbcampustour I believe you left off SLU.

[FCS Nation Radio @FCSNationRadio1]

Chris Schenkel and his team with Northwestern Mutual along with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Team and YOU deserve all of the credit!! Wait until you see what we can all do together this season!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋

Thank you to all of our Honorary Captains and each team's fan base! We're going to defeat childhood cancer one cup at a time!

[Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation @AlexsLemonade]

We want to thank our partners @NM_Financial, @FCSNationRadio1, and the 18 FCS football players for teaming up to fight childhood cancer during the 2025 football season.

In addition to asking for donations, players, coaches and the network offices asked fans to participate in Northwestern Mutual's #LemonTopChallenge on social media! Thanks to amazing teamwork, more than $135,000 was raised to help fund childhood cancer research!

Special shoutout to the top 3 players: Aidan Bouman, ALSF Honorary Captain and top fundraiser of the year, Chase Mason and Taco Dowler 💛

@TheSongDog11 Nobody can deny this. Fantastic food, in a hardware store! Gotta love it.

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

@grantlueders @boumanaidan8 knows his food spots in Vermilion. This place is fantastic!

HOW IT STARTED:

HOW IT FINISHED: ⬇️

[Zach Borg @IceBorg]

When I said Aidan is a special guy who will succeed in whatever he does FB only scratched the surface

Final standings below w/SDSU’s Chase Mason 2nd over 34K & Montana St’s Taco Dowler 3rd over 20K

So not only does this region dominate FCS but it also aims to kick Cancer’s ass

[Jay Elsen @jayelsen]

Bouman is now a two-time Lemon Trophy Winner. I spoke with him earlier today about what this cause has meant to him.

"That is, by far, the coolest thing I've been able to be a part of during college."

[Back the Pack - Coyote Nation @BackthePackSD]

We will see you next year! We are feeling $50,000 next time.

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

Congratulations @BackthePackSD and Coyote Nation! Thank you for your desire to create impact. The competitiveness of this year is exactly what was envisioned from the start. @boumanaidan8 and Coyote Nation are the @NM_Financial @AlexsLemonade Honorary Captain of the year!

[Back the Pack - Coyote Nation @BackthePackSD]

So incredibly proud of Coyote Nation for answering the bell on this! Lemonhead photos, JellYote at tailgate, auctioning gear and trips - this one had it all! Congrats Aidan and as always, GO YOTES!!! @boumanaidan8 @SDCoyotesFB

[Chad Spicer @SDgrandpaof1]

Congratulations @boumanaidan8 and @BackthePackSD! Huge shout out to @FCSNationRadio1 and @schenkelchris for the vision and drive to raise this much money for fighting childhood cancer. This is what NIL should be about. So excited for where this goes next.

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

Congratulations @boumanaidan8! This is absolutely deserved! You're the original Honorary Captain! Thank you so much for your buy in, care and leadership in this initiative. I appreciate you!

[FCS Nation Radio @FCSNationRadio1]

Huge congratulations to Aidan Bouman, South Dakota quarterback and the 2025–2026 Alex’s Lemonade Stand 🍋 Lemon Trophy Winner! @boumanaidan8

He raised more money than any athlete in the country this season for childhood cancer research alongside @NM_Financial ❤️

Total amount raised by Aidan and the Coyote fanbase: $41,788 🤯

Aidan didn’t just play football this season, he led a movement. By using his platform to give back, he showed exactly what FCS football is about.

This trophy isn’t about stats. It’s about impact. And Aidan made his felt nationwide. @AlexsLemonade 🍋🏆

All 18 Athletes Amount Raised: $133,095

It takes a village, something @schenkelchris understands better than anybody. Shoutout to all those around FCS Nation who had a hand in helping us make a difference this season. We cannot thank you enough.

Everybody give it up for Aidan! 🐺👏🏼

💛 Until next season! We are just getting started.

[FCS Nation Radio @FCSNationRadio1]

Nobody threw a prettier ball than Aidan Bouman (@boumanaidan8) today at the @WeAreAFCA NFL-FCS Showcase out here in Nashville.

The @SDCoyotesFB signal caller played 4 seasons in Vermillion. Over his career, he threw for 9,278 passing yards and recorded 68 touchdowns with 18 interceptions. Completed 695 of 1,078 pass attempts for a 64.5% completion rate.

He is as pro-style as they come. Literally built to be on an NFL roster. Somehow an even better person than he is a ballplayer. Excited to see who gives him an opportunity. 🍿
