The SEC is announcing their Community Services teams this week and named two Aggies to their respective teams. Senior tight end Max Wright from the football team and Senior defensive specialist Lauren Hogan from the Volleyball team were both named due to their contributions to the community.
Each year, the SEC honors student-athletes across all 21 league-sponsors sports and recognizes the work they have been doing in the community.
Max Wright, Senior, Tight End, Texas A&M
Wright has been a selfless servant volunteering his time and efforts in making a lasting impact to the Brazos Valley community. He has been active with numerous organizations, including Twin City Mission in Bryan where he served food and cleaned up around the facility. Wright has also volunteered with The Big Event, the largest one-day student service project in the nation every spring helping members of the community with upkeep and care for the homes. The graduate student has contributed his service globally in 2019 on a mission trip when he traveled to Haiti where he partnered with Mission of Hope and local churches to help with construction projects. In 2022, Wright received the Aggie Heart Award, presented to a senior who displays the intangibles such as effort, desire, determination, competitiveness, accountability, leadership and courage.

Lauren Hogan, Senior, Libero/Defensive Specialist, Texas A&M
Hogan helps with Aggies Can, which is the largest student-athlete volunteer-driven canned food drive in the nation. The collections help those within the Brazos Valley community. A captain of the Texas A&M volleyball team, she is also a contributor to Twin City Missions homeless shelter, helping those in need in the local area. Her service also spanned to the international stage as she dedicated a great deal of service to the Texas A&M Athletics Mission of Hope trip, where she and fellow student-athletes travelled to the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The trip involved two core components: strategic ministry time and community advancement projects.
A leader on the court and in the community đź‘Ť
